Do other people solve your problems?
I have found that when I do expect solutions to come from other people, I'm usually disappointed. Other people can help. Other people are useful collaborators. Centered problem solvers work well with other people to focus, analyze, create, energize, and solve problems. But it's still up to us.
Depending on other people to solve our problems is the worst kind of useless illusion.
Other people help. Other people care. Other people support and challenge. But we are the ones to solve our problems.
