Monday Morning Motivation

Think of all the problems you've ever had. They have all been solved. Or are on their way to being solved.

When we're in the middle of some difficulty or feeling oppressed by circumstances, it's common to become so consumed by the situation that solutions appear impossible. But it's just not true. Every problem resolves itself.

The fact is, there are no problems right now. Problems are mostly future events--which of course we are powerless to do anything about. The only thing we can influence is the present. Right now.

Most problems are projections into the future. What might happen. What could happen. If that happens, then this might happen! When (or if) it happens, you'll deal with it. But right now it's just a possibility. There are other, wonderful possibilities too.

So stay here. In the now. The future will come soon enough. And then you'll deal with it. Then, it will be now.
