Consider Everyone Effected

Solving problems by hurting others is not solving problems.

Centered problem solvers consider everyone effected by the solutions.

Maybe a Pause to Listen?

Do you ever wear yourself out trying to help someone else solve a problem? It is so tempting to come up with solutions. Even when you're sure they will work, will they really? 

I'm working on taking a pause. What is the request? What is the need? What is my role?

You may not need to solve someone else's problem -- they may just need your attentive listening.

Are you ready?

Are you feeling a little busy? Are there more problems than you can juggle at once? It feels new, and yet the world has always had unsolved problems waiting for your help. There are more people now, many more, and that does make a difference. Everything is multiplied. 

Which makes you even more important than ever.

The world will always need centered problem solvers.

Are you ready?
