Peace with problems

Make peace with the inescapable reality of problems. Life is simply a series of them that we put our energy toward. Don’t labor under the delusion that if you work fast and hard enough they’ll all disappear. Problems are part of what makes life magnificent, I believe. From another lens, life IS problems – a series of puzzles to continuously solve. How do I stay connected to my spouse? How do I build a successful business? How do I be the friend I want to be? How do I create the future I want to live? How do I raise good humans? All problems. Great ones. Have a blast – the fun is in the solving.

  1. As always a timely reminder Rachel. For me it’s interesting the success of things like Wordle. A daily problem to solve. Sometimes that’s where people escape their real world for a bit. I guess the difference is the Worldview we put on the outcome. I wonder how many real world problems would be different if we treated them as a puzzle to solve instead of an expectation to be met?
