Searching for Opportunities

I was challenged with finding an opportunity in my three so-called problems today.  I don't normally view them as 'problems', more like situations I am working through, but still, to push myself just that bit further to think of them as opportunities was different thinking.

One item I described as a problem was a huge amount of student loan I have been working on eliminating.  I'm working on it.  I just didn't see it as an opportunity.  After much consideration, I reworded it as an opportunity to improve my credit after it has been paid off.  I don't know?!  It is also an opportunity for me to learn patience and fiscal responsibility, to value my education.  They say a student loan is not necessarily a 'bad' debt to have.  By valuing the student loan, I value the investment I made in myself, which is always a good thing to feel. 

It feels like it's taking a long time to pay it off.  In this case, the opportunity is a lesson in patience.  I think I get it.
