PROBLEMS:


Frequently, when faced with a problem, we may attempt to
solve it in a particular way. When that way doesn't work,
we may continue trying to solve the problem in that same
way.

We may get frustrated, try harder, get more frustrated, and
then exert more energy and influence into forcing the same
solution that we have already tried and that didn't work.

That approach tends to get us stuck and trapped. It is the
stuff that unmanageability is made of.

We can get caught in this same difficult pattern in
relationships, in tasks, in any area of our life. We initiate
something, it doesn't work, doesn't flow, we feel badly,
then try the same approach harder, even though it's not
working and flowing.

Sometimes, it's appropriate not to give up and to try
harder. Sometimes, it's more appropriate to let go, detach,
and stop trying so hard.

If it doesn't work, if it doesn't flow, maybe life is trying to
tell us something. Life is a gentle teacher. Something not
working may be a sign!

Let go. If we have become frustrated by repeated efforts
that aren't producing desired results, we may be trying to
force ourselves down the wrong path. Often, the answer
will emerge more clearly in the quietness of letting go than
it will in the urgency, frustration, and desperation of
pushing harder.
