One man cried and moaned about how much work it would be to get out of the canyon. He moaned about how far he had fallen. He calculated how much work and time would be involved in getting out of the canyone - and when he had the answer he sat with his hands on his face, pouting.
The other man looked about the canyon. He noted there was a stream for swimming, fishing, bathing - it even served as a wonderful view for him to practice his painting. He saw the rocks and sticks and figured he could build a home and stay awhile. With fresh air, sunshine, plenty of water and a place to sleep, all was well in his world.
He went to bed that night a happy man with dreams of creating something with what he had around him. The other man sat up all night thinking about his problems.
Moral of the story is simple: Create what you want in life regardless of circumstances. Don't try to solve a problem before you begin creating.
Create NOW and in many cases the problem will go away.
