"SOLUTIONS"

"People in distress will sometimes prefer a problem that is familiar to a solution that is not." --Neil Postman
 

The problem with problems is that they really aren't problems at all. They don't require solutions - that's just what we call them when they change form into something that we can accept.

Some shamanic teachings claim that the cure for the ill of a tribal member lies within fifty yards of the afflicted's dwelling. Think about it. What happens when we believe deeply in a problem? It leads to a familiar acceptance of difficulty or futility. Now, imagine that whatever the problem, the agent for its relief and transition lies right before us.

Accept that all that is required for it to be revealed is the discomfort of accepting that we don't know what we're looking for.

Believe in surprises and they will surprise you.


Affirmation:

I give thanks for the reality of wonder in my life. I am open to the gift of solutions emerging from mystery.
