This is your reoccurring reminder that there is no escaping problems in life.
Problems only get to be exchanged and/or upgraded.
So, the next time you find yourself complaining about a problem, ask yourself:
- “What kinds of problems would I rather be solving?”
- “What kinds of problems make me feel equal parts challenged and excited at the prospect of solving them?”
- “How can I reverse engineer my way towards those problems and start exchanging some of my current ones for those ones?”
Those who live more fulfilled and enjoyable lives don’t live that way because of fewer problems per se—they live that way because of more aligned problems.
