A Little Problem?

You know the feeling, you take a hammer to your biggest problem, smash it with all your might and then, BAM!! Three new problems raise their ugly heads 🧟

It doesn’t matter how hard you bash them! They keep coming! And multiplying!

Well, ‘problems’ will always come. That’s life. And you can choose to see it differently.

What if they weren’t problems? What if they were opportunities?

Now, maybe you’re thinking ‘Eleanor, receiving an unexpected roof repair bill in my inbox is NOT an opportunity, it’s a pain in my bum that I can’t afford’. I tell you what, if that’s what you think then it’s true.

And it COULD BE an opportunity if you allow yourself to think differently.

It could be an opportunity to be grateful that it broke now and only cost this much rather than breaking later and costing more

It could be an opportunity to review your living situation and move somewhere else

It could be an opportunity to appreciate that, even though it’ll make things tight, you DO have the money

It could be an opportunity to divert money away from takeaways and cook at home more, improving your health

It could be an opportunity to reflect on all the people on the world being affected by war or natural disasters that currently don’t have a roof and start a campaign to raise money for them.

It doesn’t have to just be a pain in your bum, it could be an opportunity for so much more, if you only choose to see it that way.
