How big of a problem do you want to make this?

Winning answer: Not that big I read an interview with Madonna who said that when people came into her home in LA and they saw her Frida Kahlo collection of paintings, if they didn't like Frida Kahlo, she couldn't be their friend. If I'm hanging out with somebody who turns non-problem problems into problems… I mean, I can still be their friend, but I just don't really wanna hang out with them. Here's the sticky question that changes everything… How big of a problem do you want to make this? The obvious answer is always going to be, like… Not that big of a problem. Problems don't change until you change how you relate to them. (When we bless them.) We can't control the circumstances in our lives, but we can choose how we think about them. If storms and fires are the work of the Divine, so are flat tires and breakups. All of it is a blessing (even if it's in disguise). Problems become portals when we get excited about transforming them. Where everyone else sees a roadblock, we can be like, guys … it's a secret passage to higher consciousness.
