Problems Are Really Opportunities
In Chinese, the word that represents threat also stands for opportunity.
Anything that challenges you is an opportunity to create change.
Think about it!
What problems have you encountered recently?
Perhaps you experienced a difficult client at work... or found a fault on your new washing machine... or struggled with a project; and so on.
What did you learn from these experiences?
What did you do to resolve them?
By resolving them, how are things different?
More than likely, the problem has presented you with a new direction.
Albert Einstein believed so. He said: "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
You just have to look a little closer!
Perhaps you have gained a new skill or experience; perhaps you have a better understanding about a situation; maybe you have gained intellectually, financially or spiritually from the experience; or maybe the problem has opened doors to better life choices.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."
Problems really are an opportunity for positive change.
So, next time you have a problem, immediately think - OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS!
Welcome the problem.
Open the door and let opportunity step right in.
Work efficiently towards a resolution, without complaining, and learn from the outcome.
You have everything to gain!

Thanks Karl !
Though I have read similar before, I really needed to be reminded of it today!
I recently began working the 'business side' of a company I've been purchasing product from for many years when their pay plan made a huge jump.
Unfortunately I seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place as a frequent comment is 'Well, how much have YOU made!'
Your post has made me realize that this really shouldn't be about me at all ... it's just an OPPORTUNITY to point out all the people who have not only made some money, but made SUBSTANTIAL, mind blowing money. Especially since they developed the new system.
If I think about it, it is likely also an OPPORTUNITY to 'weed out' people who aren't serious in developing additional cash flow.
Thanks for bringing the turn around to my attitude. It was much needed !!

This is absolutely correct. "Problems" are opportunities to generate success. It is all about mindset. You have to condition your mind, through meditation, neural reconditioning, and self-affirmation that any challenge, issue, and adversity that comes your way is something positive. I highly suggest you all read John Assaraf's new book, The Answer. Its all about this stuff. Look...
