How does it feel when the solution that you've implemented doesn't quite work?
That frustrates me. All that work. All that thinking. And the solution is imperfect.
Well, guess what? Many solutions are imperfect. Maybe every solution that is available to you is imperfect. We do live in an imperfect world.
We can still benefit from imperfect solutions. We can still grow and learn from the results that we achieve, even when they are flawed or temporary.
Just because a problem doesn't stay solved doesn't mean that the solution wasn't valuable.
Maybe it served a short term end. Maybe it solved a key part of the problem. And maybe, just maybe, it's a way to learn and find our way to a better solution. Broken solutions lead to better solutions. Problems test and expand our creativity.
Centered problem solvers know that the problem solving is never done. Evolving solutions is part of the deal.
