Change or Solution?
When is a change a solution? And when is it just a change? That’s an easy one! It’s when the problem goes away.
Very often we make a change and think we’re done. However, if the change was to solve a problem and the problem is still there, then all we’ve really done is to create a new problem. Or rather, we’ve just changed the look of the old problem.
Sometimes the change costs money so we are reluctant to acknowledge it didn’t work. Depending on the amount of money, we might decide we can live with the problem. That’s fine, as long as it is a conscious choice and we truly stop thinking about the problem as a problem. That is the key: unless we stop spending energy fretting about the problem, we can’t stop at the first attempt to solve it.
Look around you. Where have your problem-solving changes made a positive difference and where have they just extended the problem? Remember, any energy not spent in creating your best life is energy wasted.
