After all, just because nothing can be done is no excuse to do nothing. I heard the story the other day, of a family who went camping. As soon as they pulled into the campground, the kids jumped out of the car, they helped unload the truck, they pitched the tent and in a matter of minutes the whole camp was set up and you never saw anything so well organized or children so motivated. I have never before seen children that organized, that cooperative, or that motivated. They all have their assigned jobs, and they know that they are not allowed to go to the bathroom, until the tent is up.
Problems can become possibilities.
When you can view problems as challenges, then you will dare to grab hold of opportunities. When people are afraid of problems, afraid of taking a risk, then they are unable to seize the possibilities. But, once they realize that the problems can provide the challenges, which will compel them to live in the realm of hope, then they will dare to become a possibility thinker. This past week I had the joy of speaking to our high school young peoples group. One young person came to me early and we were chatting privately.
