“Effective people are not problem-minded; they’re opportunity minded.”

— Stephen Covey   

Do you look for problems? 

Or do you look for opportunities?  

Seek and you shall find – if you’re looking for problems you will find them. 

And if you look for opportunities, you’ll also find them. 

But let’s look at the problem seeking for a moment…  

It is so easy to find problems if you look for them – & it seems like the older people get the more they look for problems (especially problems about other people).  

This is true for me at least – not me looking for faults in people, but realizing that people were looking for faults in me & my life.  

I never wasted my time or energy thinking about what’s wrong with someone – but I found out that people do that all the time. 

Some or many people are actively seeking scapegoats. Seeking someone to blame or find fault with.  

And I didn’t know that people were doing that until I ran into a brick wall of people’s opinions about me & my eccentric ways, as I prepared for fame.  

All of a sudden I went from opportunity & joy minded to problem minded. I went from living in peace to living in fear, and I began seeing problems with everyone & everything – which I wasn’t looking at before. 

I lost my energy and my mind in looking outside of myself, towards potential problems, and I’ve been working hard to get my mind back with myself since then. It’s been 3 years.  

I’m re-learning to lead my life & be true to myself. 

I’m re-learning to NOT be like the problem-seeking people. 

And I’m learning to NOT take on the fearful projections of the problem-seekers. 

I’m re-learning a lot. 

And I’m embracing MY perspective and MY beliefs. 

And not worrying if people see a problem with me having my own perspective – because they will. 

But some will love it too, and to those fans I say thank you.
