Problems...Finding Solutions

“Sometimes life gives you problems you can’t solve today.
That’s what tomorrow is for.
And that’s why you keep going.”
~Anonymous

Never stop.
Never give up.
Never turn back.
Keep trying.
Keep pushing.
Keep going.

Maybe that’s the difference
between one person and the other.
Some cannot handle the problem,
others never find the solution.
Some cannot keep pushing,
while others give up too soon.

For me, it’s all about attitude. Perspective. Willingness to hang on and not turn back.

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend
55 minutes thinking about the problem
and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”

~Albert Einstein

A problem well stated is half the solution.

Often, problems are not the issue;
finding the better path should be our focus.
And with that, we may not have the same problems.
Hmmm. Paths without problems? Hooray!

Why solve for something that doesn’t matter?
Make sure you work at solving only that
which needs to be dealt with.
Not everything is worthy of a solution.

When we look to someone else to be our problem solver,
we are either citing them as heroes
or complaining about the solution they found.
The Key? We are seldom happy with the answers.
