Life always presents itself with challenges that makes it worth living. Achievers view challenges as opportunities and moaners view challenges as problems caused by circumstances. What a stark difference. All of us have our share of problems regardless of our financial and physical status. Successful people know how to turn a problem into an opportunity. Word responsibility means ability to respond to a circumstance. If we learn to develop positive thoughts and manifest those thoughts through attitude to persevere difficulties or failures than what seems difficult becomes within our reach. Those who complain and blame either government, their friends and families or circumstances for their problems in life lack the fundamental understanding of the power of their mind.

Change is what often causes problems in our lives. It may be a job loss or move to another house. It may be your health or your financial difficulties. Whatever it may be, when you introspect the problem, you will find that problem intends to disrupts your perception of normality. It is all in your thoughts. If you develop responsible attitude and learn to think “Why is it happening ?” rather than “Why it is happening to me ?”, you will develop mindset to adapt to the change and become a champion of your life. If you loose a job due to outsourcing, normal reaction would be of self hatred, bitterness towards your employer and low self esteem for the change that is natural and unavoidable. Instead, if you view this challenge as force to learn new skills or pursue your life long dream of starting a new business, you gained ability to respond to this change in a constructive, self reliant way. On the other hand, if you view this change as problem created by others or policy of your government, you tend to indulge your thoughts into despair, hatred and self inflicting pain that lead to attract more problems in your life. You are in fact creating a welfare mind that strongly believes that government or your family is responsible to bring justice to your present circumstances.

A man can only rise, conquer and achieve by uplifting his thoughts. He can only remain weak, abject and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts.
- James Allen

Thoughts are powerful. Your ability to face problems will be in direct proportion to your ability to harness your thoughts into effective planning and organizing your actions towards a focused and specific goal to turn problem into an opportunity.

• Walt Disney was fired several times by newspaper editor because he lacked imagination. He went bankrupt many times before one day seeing a rat in his apartment conceived his mind with thoughts to create Disney world. If he blamed his life and others for his problems, world would have never seen one of the most entertaining adventure ever undertaken.
• Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and he did not learn how to read until age seven. He was expelled from his school for being too slow and his teachers considered him a mediocre student. World now regards him as the greatest scientist of the past century.
• Abraham Lincoln lost many elections and struggled to achieve average success until way past his hey days. He is now known as one of the greatest presidents ever.

What these greats show us by example is the implicit yet profound truth that by will power and strong, positive, uplifting thoughts life creates abundant opportunities from difficulties. Life you are living now, who you are today is a total sum of choices you have made ever since you’ve grown to accept responsibility. If you are in misery, lack of hope for the future and worry about your problems, you have harbored negative self esteem for your current condition. Sooner you learn that who you are is because of none other than you, you will learn to transcend ocean of positivity to dispel any seemingly insurmountable problems in your life. Nothing can stop your commitment to change your current situation with fiery desire and profound purpose. If you are feeling helpless, waiting for your government to solve your problems, you will always feel helpless and always wait for your government to solve your problems. Be conscious, be responsible and your life will change forever.

To Your Success,
