Have you ever gotten so deep into solving a problem that you missed the fact that you were part of the problem?
I don't like it when it happens, but sometimes I realize that the problem only exists because I've created it. I put it there. It's the results of my actions.
Sobering. Disconcerting. Not fun. But, sometimes we're the problem.
Centered problem solvers realize that their part in the problem may be tough to see, yet it's likely there. What we do in looking at the problem has a lot to do with who we are. When we take the time to center ourselves before reaching conclusions, we end up with better conclusions.
Sometimes as we analyze a problem we are also analyzing ourselves.
Are you open to that?
