Find Your Power In Your Problems

Image
Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God/The Higher Power/ Goddess/ The Universe wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly after they've created the problem with hopes The Omniscient will fix it for them rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring to themselves if they find a solution for the choice they made. Firstly, not all problems are mistakes out of choice.  When you embark into this world alone to figure out your journey you will make some mistakes, but when that same mistake is repeated over and over again, it then becomes a choice.  And it is with that choice The Omnipotent uses to DIRECT you - Problems often point us in a new direction to pay attention and motivate us to change.  Do I need pay attention?

People were giving me admonishments for all I had done for the community of survivors, and I immediately thought I was not worthy. I responded finally by saying, "No,  WE are great!"   Looking back, I said, damn how damaging! I had spent so much of my life feeling inadequate, forgetting all the amazing things I had done. It was like a gaping hole in the middle of me, never satisfied. I couldn't appreciate a compliment because my no self-esteem worked against my memory and acceptance of my reality. I was always trying to measure up to someone or something that didn't exist. But then I realized something: we are all kingdoms. Our bodies, our minds, our souls,...
