All too often, weâre focused on the problem itself rather than searching for the solution. And it might sound like wordplay, but itâs not: itâs perspective. The solution nearly always exists. Itâs usually simpler than we think. And thereâs often someone whoâs already solved it... ...someone we could learn from, if we werenât so caught up in the struggle. Sometimes, the smartest move isnât to push harder, but to step back. Take a breath. Look again. Because when you change your angle, youâll finally see the signs that have been there all along. ...and sometimes 'you' are the problem, and its you that needs to change: ....but thats another lesson for another day
