You can't solve every problem with love but you can't hurt any with it, either.
Try love. You need never run out.

Build Momentum
What do you do with a problem that immobilized you?
Tackle the first problem you can and the second won't seem so hard.
How many problems get solved by doing nothing?
No so many. Maybe, in your world, none. As often as I've tried the "do nothing and see how it works out" approach, it is often disappointing. It's works better to do something.
And when it's hard to start, I start small. Solve a little problem. Then a bigger one. Build some momentum.
Stay curious, adjust, be flexible. Then solve those problems one at a time.

Find the Positive Choices
Sometimes our biggest problems are filled with positive choices.
Dig digger. Think harder. Ask more. Stay curious and open. The positive choices are there.
