Daily Gratitude: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

This is another wise saying that bears repeating. We fall into the same way of thinking about all of our issues. That may work out fine most of the time. However, when you’re stumped and can’t find a solution, it’s time to step back and look at the problem from a different perspective. We have to be creative. And since our brains operate in “typical” patterns 99% of the time, we may need to ask for help. Others aren’t in our ruts so they can give excellent advice as to how to approach something.

Just a simple question from another person may open the door you couldn’t find.

Go do something different. The things you normally do with your dominant hand try doing with your non-dominant one for awhile. Make yourself come up with a different way to do something. Just vary your routines and techniques and see if that opens your mind to look at your issue differently.

There is always an answer and most of the time there is a solution. If you can’t find one, then accept that it will all work out. I know personally that it does.
