Aha Karol, I believe I’m being trained well here. I love your opinion and the story.

My two cents for this is “the only person who does not have a problem is the one 6ft below the ground” – Not sure if anybody has commented in the same context.

You insight inspired me to take the following actions so far:

) May I ask if I can borrow your story for my site?

2) Also I just thought since I am taking the path you highly recommended, I re-started by blog most recently, I am also going to educate visitors to say even just a plain thank you.

3) Also to commit to read their post regularly and reply any comment that stirs my soul.

4) Blame no one (In the past I’m big on this)

5) Be a problem solver for those who are open

6) If they are not open tell them I LOVE THEM JUST THE SAME.

7) Continue to share the gifts that God -(sorry you mentioned you don’t believe in God) I love you anyway, (what about the universe? the higher source?) has given me

8) that’s enough for now – save the rest in my own blog post :)

9) Ooops I can feel my resistance for packing light. that means I have to really work on this one.

10) Enjoy life as it comes! Hold nothing back, pay forward

Whew, gosh that was good feeling when I can type anything spontaneously as it comes staight from my heart. Sorry – each time I type I got carried away – I thought this one is going to be short and sweet entry.

Namaste

Thanks Eugene. Asking yourself what action you can take right now is a good way to not only solve problems, but to just get stuff done in general.

Thanks!

Most problems don’t really exist in the present. They are a result of a fear of something happening in the future. The only thing you have to solve for is the here and now. What action can you take right now? Answer that question and bigger problems start to break into smaller, more manageable chunks. Just another way of re-framing but it helps.

[...] Sometimes those words come across as empty. Or maybe just confusing. How do you provide value? At its essence, it’s simple: be a problem solver. [...]

Right on!
Once again it’s a question of whether the cup is half full or half empty.
Do you have a problem or an opportunity? A situation or a challenge?
There are no failures, only solutions not yet found.
Your ‘re-framing’ suggestion really helps us get in touch with the up side of any problem.
Thanks — Pat

Awesome! Thanks for finding me Jessie. It is one of my favorite teachings as well. But I guess that’s obvious. :)

Thanks Karol! This is one of my favorite Buddha teachings and when I did a search for it, you’re page came up.
Thanks!
