Problem is just a bleak word for a challenge.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Swapping one word for another changes the mood here. The speaker says "problem" is merely a gloomy label for what could be called a challenge. It's a reframing: the situation stays the same, but the name we give it decides whether it feels heavy or inviting.
