Have you ever noticed that someone else's problems can look far worse to them than they do to you? Have you ever thought how easy it might be to solve someone else's problem, yet they can't seem to see how easy it is?
Could that be happening to you as well?
I know that it happens to me. I can get choked up and bound by a problem that years later seams simple. Our perspective filters everything, especially our problems.
When problems are close to us, it can be hard to see them clearly. Our emotions tangle up with our logic creating a spaghetti like pile of abstract roadblocks. We can do better.
Our closest problems look very different to someone who is not so close to them.
Get some perspective. Get some help. Clarify what is really going on and see what it will take to untangle it.
What problem do you think needs a new sense of perspective today? How can you get that more detached, clear, and honest perspective?
