Wednesday: The Problem is not in the Stars!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Herm Albright

I truly believe that problems are presented to us in the school of life to help us learn to be more complex and interesting people. There is nothing more boring than a person who has had an easy life because they have not been forced to think and learn to depend upon their own abilities and resources. Those born into a life of ease are often born into a life of impoverished spirit. The comedy of life becomes apparent when you realize that god/dess is a joker with an audience that refuses to laugh.

My day is basically spent as a consultant to folks who have problems. I work for an on-line psychic service and people come to chat when issues in their lives seem overwhelming. [ http://www.asknow.com] I don't think that when we are in the middle of chaos that we remember to take time and give thanks for the lessons we are learning. It is amazing how little thoughts like giving thanks for what is manifest in our lives can do to reduce our stress and make our ability to solve problems more complex and effective.

As the founder of Serenity House, a shelter for victims of domestic violence, I became enamored by the Serenity Prayer.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful worldas it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things rightif I surrender to His Will;That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr

To be a savant at problem solving these words hold true:

• Know what you can fix and what you can't.
• Develop skills that enable you to tell the difference.
• Develop a sense of humor about the dichotomies of life.
• Ask for help when you don't know the answer!

Marie De Maria is one of those problem solving people. She greets each morning with a smile and a resolution to make each day better and better.

Marie uses a process called "framing your day". Before she begins her engagement in her world she takes a few minutes to meditate and create what will manifest in her day.

This not only increases the positivity of manifestation but it also helps keep Marie in a state of always expanding possibilities. If you would like to know more about Marie go to http://mdmpromotions.com
