Content: Unfortunately, there's no magic switch you can flip in your brain that suddenly makes you see all your problems in this light. If you want to adopt this mindset, you'll have to take the time to retrain your brain. It is possible, though it will take consistent effort over an extended period of time to see the results. Accept That Problems Are Inevitable
Most of us react negatively to problems when they take us by surprise. You're on your way to work on a route you always take, and you get a flat tire; this event is completely unexpected, and can make you feel like the day is ruined. However, your work commute almost always has some kind of problem in it--they're usually just so small you don't notice. For example, there might be extra traffic, you might have forgotten something at home, or you might not have enough of a charge on your mobile device to listen to music. Even a rogue red light can interfere with your commute. Problems are a given--only the intensity of the problems are a variable.
