“Mommy, where do problems come from?”

“Honey, I don’t really know.  I guess from within.”

Your problems are created by your thoughts.  Your mind creates your thoughts.  You are the creator of your problems!   The interesting thing is that you are also the creator of the solutions!

Any problem that you have is a creation by your mind.  Your mind can look at a situation as a “problem” or an “opportunity.”  Your mind processes the events and situations in your life and uses thoughts to determine whether or not this is problematic to you.   However, when you begin to believe and live that every part of your life is exactly where it needs to be at this moment in time, you can let go of “problems” altogether.

How can there be a “problem” when everything is perfect?  Yes, things may not be the way that we would like them to be, but that does not mean that things are not where they need to be for our growth.  We came to this lifetime to experience life and to grow.  If things are boring and stagnant do you think that your spiritual-self would be disappointed?   No, we did not come to this lifetime to struggle, but “struggle” is created in your mind.

When you can live with situations that once would cause you angst and struggle, while experiencing happiness and joy – you have grown!  Are you able to do that today?  Can you take your biggest current “problem” and flip it so that you can still experience happiness and joy?  When you can do that, you know that you have grown in this lifetime.

Today is a great day to put all of your problems in a “mental basket.”  Look at the problems in that basket in your mind’s eye.  Now, think about your current experience in this lifetime – today.  Are you happy?  Are the “problems” weighting you down?  Now, look at the biggest problem in that basket.  Think of that problem, not as a problem but as a gift.  What in that problem could be there that would make it a gift?

You do not have problems, but rather, gifts of growth from the universe!  When you start looking at things as “gifts” you can change your attitude and your outlook on those situations.   Life is a gift that anyone on their deathbed will tell you to cherish.  Today is the gift of having your life back!

When you feel you have a “problem” look for the “gift” within it.  Every situation and event in your life is at some level a gift of growth.  You do not need to figure out the “giftness” of the situation, but rather trust and grow from it!
