Problem Solving

Most people believe that it’s essential to know everything about a problem before they can change or sort things out. ‘If only I knew why I’m so... unfortunate, unlucky, unsuccessful... I’d be able to change my life’. Unfortunately, this isn’t true because understanding does not always create change. Solutions are usually new ideas injected into the existing situation. A belief like this often fosters the ‘paralysis of analysis’, encouraging too much navel gazing that makes people do the exact opposite of the following belief you need to overcome difficult times… Remember that it is not necessary to understand the cause of a problem to solve it.
