I have a lot of friends who believe you have to focus on what you want (instead of what you don't want) if you want to make good things happen in your life. While I believe this Law of Attraction principle, I also believe those who focus purely on the "good" are also missing something. Fact of the matter is, ignoring problems does not make them go away.
"Oh! But if you focus on what is wrong with something you'll get more of what's wrong!" Yes. If you spend all your time dwelling on the problem it will probably continue. How then can we get beyond the problem and into the love and light portion of the program? We need to recognize the problem and then ask what we can do to solve the problem! The key is to focus on the solution!!!
Asking questions is one of the best tools we have for overcoming obstacles. The question is what enables us to see new perspectives. What is the problem? Why is it a problem? Is there a way around it? Can we use this problem as a stepping stone to better places? What other ways are there to look at this problem? As you ask questions with an open heart, you begin to access new information. Solutions become available to those who ask for them!!!
Problems are actually a huge part of the learning and growth process. They challenge us to think in new ways. They force us to think outside the comfort of our well-worn boxes. If you don't have problems, you probably aren't growing much either.
Problems are a part of life, whether you choose to see them or not. Recognizing a problem will help you if you allow it to be used as a jumping off point to new adventures. The key is to focus on potential solutions. That way, you are in a positive, creation mode, which will enable you to get closer to those things you actually do want.
You can both recognize a problem while working to fix it all at the same time!!! It's the best way I know of to create a better world!!!
