Purposeful Point: In our culture we’re often conditioned to look at life from the perspective of problems, but it is possible to shift away from problems and problem solving to possibility and creating our lives. Such a shift in thinking and perspective can lead to a profound transformation.
“There is a profound difference between problem-solving and creating. Problem-solving is taking action to have something go away – the problem. Creating is taking action to have something come into being — the creation. Most of us have been raised in a tradition of problem-solving and have had little real exposure to the creative process.” Robert Fritz – Path of Least Resistance: Learning to Become the Creative Force in Your Own Life
The chapter title says it succinctly: Creating is No Problem — Problem Solving is Not Creating
There are costs to being stuck in a world of problems. It costs us emotionally, spiritually and with our mental and physical health.
Listen to the media sometime if you want to really get a taste of how much we live in a world of problem.
Question: How do you move from the problem perspective and into the possibility perspective?
Step 1: Recognize the degree to which you operate in our life from the problem-solving mode.
Step 2: Commit to shifting to a creative mode.
Step 3: Create a vision for your life. In the process of doing that you’ll be creating a GAP between where you are and where you long to be.
Call to Action: Begin this 3-step process.
