According to Patricia Sun, we must Trust the Problem to lead us to some deeper learning, hence the name of her radio show of the same name. When we shift our thinking to look at ALL challenges as learning opportunities, our frustration levels go down. Being angry, frustrated or stuck doesn't seem to make sense anymore. Of course this is something that requires practice, and using this list exercise can help you see what you are up against in a new way.
I can not help but wonder how different the world would be if a small group of us started thinking this way and eventually it caught on. These are the little shifts in consciousness that need to take place before evolutionary mind shifts can take place. It starts with a few of you to trust the problem.

Affirmation: I trust the problem to deliver me to higher ground.
It's funny that I found your blog today and read your post "Trust the Problem"... last night my hubby kind of gave me a therapy session because I was so frustrated and in physical pain with my Fibromyalgia... he set a timer on my IPOD and told me to lay still for 20 minutes and just breathe in and out and talk to God. I slowly began to feel less pain and calm down. By the end of the twenty minutes I was seriously painfree. My hubby saw the problem and decided to solve it! How great is that! Thanks for sharing. Hugs
