The power words have to lift a mood or change a life never ceases to amaze me. Sitting on the fence between optimism and pessimism, swaying with the day’s winds… What finally influenced me to jump off to the brighter side? My mood changer for the day came in the form of a single sentence:
“One of the nice things about problems is that a good many of them do not exist except in our imaginations.” – Steve Allen

The message I took away from the quote was that people see certain things as “problems” that aren’t problems (or even challenges) at all. They are just things they are unhappy with but if they were to look at their lives differently and appreciate their situations, they would see that there is nothing “wrong” at all. A challenge, as I see it, would be something that exists regardless of a person’s imagination. It would be something that needs to be addressed in one way or another and in that case, yes, doing so with a positive mindset would definitely be the best thing to do

Good quote except to be positive you want to change the word problem to challenge. A problem is a negative charge. A challenge is something that you are working through with a positive mindset.
