Teachers in the Zen Buddhist tradition save the best wisdom for their last breath in life. With their final exhalations, they utter their best understanding of life's processes.
One Zen teacher’s final utterance, “Thank you very much. I have no complaints," feels like a life accepted and complete.
Daily we struggle and work with what we discover about ourselves and the world. Choices allow us to do what we can. With its causes and conditions life provides just what we need on every occasion. Even though it might not seem like it at the time. It's up to us to make the most of each moment.
We live in challenging times on myriad levels. Without permitting judgment or false distortions to get in the way, we can figure most things out.

Using the words, “Thank you very much. I have no complaints" or a similar axiom to evaluate each day, we gain the truth of daily experiences. Gratitude for frustrations as well as triumphs will inform as we employ daily writing to engage with problem solving skills.
Thank your day for its greatest challenge. Write it out.

With a mindful approach to problem solving with words, use positive energy to engage with what appeared impossible at the time.
You will write yourself into, "I'm possible" as a result.
