When you focus on problems, you get more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you have more opportunities.

Zig Ziglar

Lacking an external focus, the mind turns inward on itself and creates problems to solve, even if the problems are undefined or unimportant. If you find a focus, an ambitious goal that seems impossible and forces you to grow, these doubts disappear.

Tim Ferriss

A pessimist sees problems in opportunities whereas an optimist sees opportunities in problems.

Winston Churchill

Expect the best; convert problems into opportunities; be dissatisfied with the status quo; focus on where you want to go, instead of where you're coming from; and most importantly, decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

Denis Waitley

Cultivate the technique of seeing all problems as opportunities. Opportunities to...be, and decide, Who You Really Are.

Neale Donald Walsch

I really focus on the ball, I really focus on the work, and I really focus on creating all the growth opportunities for anyone in the organisation that's willing to do it.

Bjarke Ingels

I just happen to love problems. Because I see problems as opportunities.

B. J. Armstrong

When you perceive that problems serve a purpose in your life, you will recognize that problems are opportunities in disguise.

Peace Pilgrim

Progress is obtained only by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems. When you solve problems, all you do is guarantee a return to normalcy.

Peter Drucker

When everyone is running the machine, and it's all working, there's a tendency to look at the short term and focus on incremental opportunities and not look ahead to the really big opportunities.

Abigail Johnson

Never focus on your problems. Focus on your possibilities. The problems will pull you down. The possibilities will push you up

Bo Sanchez

Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind and so seem smaller, and we increase our capacity for connection - or compassionate action.

Daniel Goleman

We must now view our problems as opportunities - historic opportunities to change the failed systems of the past and do what's right for our future.

Bob Riley

What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.

Oprah Winfrey

The entrepreneur in us sees opportunities everywhere we look, but many people see only problems everywhere they look. The entrepreneur in us is more concerned with discriminating between opportunities than he or she is with failing to see the opportunities.
