“A problem cannot be solved with the same consciousness that created it.” – Albert Einstein
Most of the problems that we have today, we probably had — in a different degree–last week, last year or ten years ago. Einstein said it best: stop trying to figure out how to solve your own problems… it ain’t working!
Any successful person has a team of people around him or her: consultants, employees, coaches, friends, family, psychologists, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. It is a rarity to find a wildly successful (and generally happy) person alone. Any time that we find ourselves in a [small or large] heap of a mess: in work, in our homes, with our friends… it is an opportunity to find a solution.
Finding a solution means we must be ready for a better experience. Then we have to become willing to ask for help. The ego will not want us to do that… but anyone with an unwavering commitment to success must be willing to admit when he or she is wrong and seek counsel from a third party who can provide feedback.
Today, if you are experiencing a situation that is beyond your mental comprehension… go out on a limb and pull someone on board to help you come up with a logical solution. You deserve peace of mind, success and happiness. Don’t settle for anything less than that. You will be in good company (Eienstein, myself and lots of other really smart people). 😉
