It's just a matter of focusing on the right thing while approaching the problem. I think I'm naturally a positive thinker, so I'm yet to learn if there's any benefit in negative thinking for me, but I'll be sure to post more on this subject in the months to come. Thanks for the comment! I totally agree, Scott!

It’s just a matter of focusing on the right thing while approaching the problem. I think I’m naturally a positive thinker, so I’m yet to learn if there’s any benefit in negative thinking for me, but I’ll be sure to post more on this subject in the months to come.

Thanks for the comment!

An empowering question focuses on the solution. A disempowering question focuses on the problem. Now, in order to make an empowering question we first must recognize the problem by asking what may seem to be a disempowering question. The key difference is that if we only focus on the problem long enough in order to understand how to solve it, we get empowered results. I think this is basically the key to the positive thinking VS negative thinking debate. We need positive thinking (empowering questions) so that we get solutions not problems. However, in order to get a solution we must recognize that there is a problem in the first place. I think the key difference is that most people spend far too much time on the problem and not enough on the solution. Great Post!
