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.
