"A problem is a chance for you to do your best."
~ Duke Ellington
I think we all believe, to some extent, that we can look at "problems" differently in large part because, when we do, the outcomes will be different. We will be different. Stronger. Healthier. Freer. Better in so many ways.
But because we are so accustomed to seeing problems as...well...PROBLEMS, we do not yet
embrace them as opportunities. We often fear them, resist them, complain about them, blame others for them. We try to avoid facing them.
Today, let's take another shot at grasping the truth that our problems are chances for us to get it better, to overcome limitations, to clear away stumbling blocks, to remove blind spots and to remove hurts and hates from our hearts.
May every problem in our personal lives, in our country and in our world lead us toward greater love, hope, beauty, and joy. Toward greater courage and compassion too. And peace.
With faith,
Charlene
