It is a problem

I have actually met people who know what “Art of Reframing” is.  It is quite simple.  Simple substitution of a word changes everything.  Like what? Like meaning.

For example,

It is a problem ==> It is an opportunity.

It is a good substitution; however, when you start to substitute the word “problem” with the word “opportunity” every time, it becomes nonsensical.  Sometimes funny. Take your pick.

I am a natural problem-solver. So, now, I am an opportunity-solver.  “What is your problem?” becomes “what is your opportunity?” No, really!  What is your opportunity?
