Enjoying life irrespective

Irrespective of what ?  I am using the word in the broadest possible meaing. Irrespective of anything !

So is this possible ?

Lets look at a few scenarios
In the first instance you need to change the way you look at things;  Turn as many of the words in your vocabulary from the negative to the positive.  It still has basically the same meaning but the attitude in the meaning has changed. 
Now lets take the word : Problem
Definition :
A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired between one or more individual.

Now we change that word to "challenge"

A test of one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking. A call to engage in a contest, fight, or competition:

The basic difference in the words are that a problem is stating a situation, an obstacle that exist preventing you from something.  All definitions of challenge are action orientated. It implies you to do something !

If we now look at a "situation" where the word problem is used :  I have a problem with my boss. This implies that the "problem" exist but I cannot do anything about it.   When the sentence is changed to "challenge" it implies that I now have a call to engage the situation. 

If this is applied every time you encounter a "Problem" you will suddenly find that it becomes that much easier if you engage the situation.  Just remember when you do other smaller "problems" will suddenly appear and you must just do the same with these.

Now getting back to my "Enjoy life irrespective"   If you go and look why you are not enjoying life you will find it has its roots in "problems" of some sort.  Now haven't I given you a simple tool ?

Capice ?
