I’ve been so used to seeing my problems as problems. Things that can be fixed.
 
This is a fine an useful framing for most situations, but what about when everything you do does nothing? When you just can’t seem to break the cycle you’re trapped in?
 
What follows are divergent ways of thinking — useful and unexpected questions. Just run through the list until something catches your eye.

  • if you’re hung up on external problems, look inward
 
“Lessons are repeated until they are learned”
 
“The problem you are facing now is always the right one.”
 
etc. etc.
