Are You A Problem Solver?

Do you believe that with enough effort or hard work, you can accomplish anything?

Well, I can tell you that I used to buy into that way of thinking.
I worked very hard and put a lot of effort into fixing all the problems in my life, job and relationships. I felt that if I stayed alert, and caught the problem early enough, I could take action to fix it before the shit hit the fan.

As a problem solver, I was always looking for problems, and boy did I find them.
The Universe supplied me with a never-ending stream of issues. I worked very hard and put lots of effort into taking care of all of them and I did accomplish all kinds of things doing it.

Boy was it exhausting!

I was frustrated, stressed out and very unsatisfied. If I am being totally honest I will admit that it sucked having to fix everything all the time.

Then after many years of being extremely frustrated and stressed out I decided to stop looking for problems.

I got wise to the law of attraction and recognized that the Universe had been giving me exactly what I was looking for.

When you look for problems you find them.

I decided to stop focusing on what needed to be fixed and start paying attention to what was working and what felt good.

You know what happened?

My problems started to disappear.

Amazingly enough, things did not fall apart because I was not on high alert. The shit never hit the fan! I was no longer exhausted, stressed out and frustrated all the time. I had tons of energy to explore things that interested me and were fun.

I began to spend time thinking about all the things I wanted in my life, and how I would feel when I had them, and like magic those things began to show up.
They showed up effortlessly and without hard work on my part.

mmmmm….interesting.
