Transform your problems into your opportunities
"We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope." – Martin Luther King Jr.
"When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex and most people stop there. But If you keep going and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions." – Steve Jobs

Peel your onion your way without the tears.
I’m not crazy about peeling onions either but it’s the foundation for a lot of great recipes.
This is all about transforming your problems into opportunities.
Life isn’t always smooth sailing.
We’ve all been there many times on our journey however we somehow continue to press forward. Then there are those individuals that have been there and done it all.
I remember attending a seminar with a speaker. He was talking about all these individuals where they were always commenting on how they’ve been there and done everything on the planet. I think it went something like this.
“Well, you’ve been there and done that, you’ve been there and done that, been there and done that, been there and done that, been there and done that so why don’t you just go and die and let the rest of us give it a shot.”
It sounds funny but it’s not that funny when you realize that these people didn’t grow from any of those experiences.
The onions were still there.
No energy, no enthusiasm; no life.
Nothing!
Why?
No desire!
“Desire is the effort of the unexpressed possibility within seeking expression without through our actions.” – Wallace D. Wattles
In order to allow this unexpressed possibility called desire manifest in our lives, we must not rely on present circumstances.
We all want to thrive and not simply survive.
“My circumstances do not make me what I am, they reveal who I have chosen to be.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer
Understand that present circumstances do not count as they are continually evolving and changing.
Living by default and not design is not ideal as we rely totally on present circumstances.
Present circumstances do not count as they are continually in a state of flux.
Focusing on present circumstances limits your ability to view the world beyond your personal perception.
We have free will and this free will allows us to move past present circumstances and really see the possibilities beyond the circumstances.
Anytime that there is an event in our lives that does not fit into our compliant data bank, the amygdala is aroused. At this point, unnecessary drama can break loose unless we understand how to short circuit the connection between emotions surrounding the event and the amygdala.
The amygdala now kicks everything into high gear and explosive emotions derail any possible solution. It is always on the high alert to look for anything to fear.
Who is in control?
Understanding your physiology places you in the driver’s seat. As long as we are breathing, there will always be issues to deal with in life.
However, we want to be able to manage any possible fallout in order to thrive and not simply survive.
A definition of focus might be fierce, optimum, concentration, unusually sustained.
Do not focus or rely on present circumstances.
This is not easy but with discipline and persistence it soon becomes our autopilot mode of thinking when faced with unprecedented issues.
This video might be of assistance in understanding your physiology and therefore managing any anxiety.

you are loved
In the quiet, somber corners of a small town, there existed a child whose arrival was marked not by joyous anticipation, but by the heavy burden of unwanted. From the moment he drew his first breath, he was greeted not with tender embraces and loving whispers, but with a silence that spoke volumes—a silence pregnant with the weight of unspoken regret and unfulfilled dreams.
