Problems

A life of success is not a life free of problems. A life of success is a life in which you acknowledge, accept and deal with the problems and challenges.
Achievement comes not from avoiding the problems. On the contrary, achievement comes from diving into problems and transforming them into positive, meaningful value.

Yes, there are plenty of negative influences in life over which you have no control. However, you have great control over what you think and what you do, so make positive, productive use of that ability.

Convince yourself, without the slightest doubt, that it is possible for you to move forward. Then act on your convictions, and do whatever is necessary to make real progress.
It will not be easy, but when all is said and done, easy is not really what you’re after. What you’re after is a life of meaning, fulfillment, joy and substance.

Instead of running or hiding from the problems, face them with confidence and positive expectations. You are worthy of the best, so work through every challenge and live the very best life you can envision.

Be grateful for your problems. You are more committed, more focused, more effective when you have no choice but to be. You’re more likely to prevail when you MUST prevail.
It’s only a limitation if you see it as a limitation. Choose to see it differently, and you’ll find a way around it.

Many things influence your life and your work, often in negative and limiting ways. Nothing, however, can stop you from moving forward in each moment with positive purpose when you are committed to doing so.

Instead of assuming that some factor in your life is a limitation, make a different assumption. Decide to see it as an opportunity to grow stronger.
Instead of wallowing in disappointment when things don’t work out the way you planned, choose a different response. Choose to be more inspired, more motivated and more determined than ever before.

A lot of times, your problem is not your problem, your attitude towards your problem is your problem.
Whatever has happened, has happened, and there’s nothing you can do to change that. What you can change, though, is what you do with it.

Tell yourself it’s a good thing, and moving forward, you’ll find a way for it to be precisely that. Rather than seeing problems as a limitation, see it as an opportunity and get busy living the value that is most certainly there.

Great achievements don’t usually happen just because someone thought it would be a fun thing to do in their spare time. Great achievements come about because they must, because there is no other choice.

Which are you more likely to regret -- time wasted in idleness, enjoying your good fortune, or time spent overcoming the obstacles in your way?
