Self-Solving Problems

Self-solving problems are the best kind of problem.

Of course, few problems truly solve themselves.

As problem-solvers, we humans tend to jump in to find a solution, and for those trickier problems, we can find ourselves in a grind of trying and pushing, persisting and forcing.

And then when we step back, we give the problem - and ourselves - time and space. It is here we can find that the solution appears.

Ah, the problem has solved itself, we sigh with relief.

Did it, or didn’t it? Who knows.

But we do know that a little patience and respite works wonders for most things. Problems, included.
