We Don’t have to be Defined by Our Problems

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” — Albert Einstein

This is such a powerful quote from Albert Einstein. The kind of thinking we use causes us problems. If we expect to use the same kind of thinking that created the problem to find a solution, then we would be looking  for one a long time. We have to readjust our thinking. Finding a new entry point or looking at the problem in a different way can be useful to solving it. Sometimes looking at the problem differently will help us to realize that there weren’t really a problem to begin with. Or, the problem exist, but we don’t necessarily have to solve it right now or not at all. Some problems we just have to accept and move on. We don’t have to be defined by our problems.
