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.
