“See every problem as an opportunity to exersize creative energy.” – Covey (that’s a misspelling I make all the time).

This is a great quote to think of while in line at the post office, fighting with a bureaucracy, or working through financial problems. Creative energy–very California. I like it!

Hey, creative spelling is a sign of a creative mind (and I make at least one homonym error per week).

And yes, creative energy is the way to go.
