Spark it. Talk. Bring out the truth.

Keeping Control
Centered problem solvers care about a problem without giving it the power to control them.
They focus, analyze, create, engage, and solve each problem while staying balanced and detached.
Do you care enough about your problems to solve them, without letting them rule you?

I've tried it. Hiding our heads in the sand only makes it more easy for a problem to sneak up on us and bite us.
Guess we might as well face the problems ahead of us.

Big Opportunity
It's not always fun. It's not usually what we seek. It can create tension in our lives. Still, it's good to know:
Your biggest problem is your biggest opportunity.

Projects Solve Problems
We don't always need a project to solve a problem, but nearly every project should.
After every project something should be better.
