Problems or Opportunities?

PROBLEMS OR OPPORTUNITIES?

By Bill Cottringer

Problems are opportunities

To grow inside;

Exchanging your vicious circle

For a virtuous one;

From negative thoughts

To more positive ones;

From untrue beliefs

To truer ones;

From wrong decisions

To better ones;

From disabling actions

To more enabling ones;

Replacing bad habits

With better ones;

Weakening fear

Strengthening faith.

Which will it be?

Flee, forget, flight or face?

Being sickened and disheartened,

Or healed and encouraged?

Comfortable inaction,

Or risky action,

With purpose, passion and thought?

One things for sure:

The test comes first

And the lessons afterword;

Sometimes you win,

Sometimes you learn.

Life is hard,

But compared to what?

Here's my best clue—

Though you're not at fault

For being down;

It is your fault

For not getting up.

So, stop listening to yourself

And start doing the talking.
