Breaking the problem in easy way
September 6, 2022
Have you ever spent a lot of time and energy trying to crack a code, solve a riddle, or otherwise work through a difficulty, only to find that no matter how hard you try or how many resources you employ, you still can't get anywhere near a solution?
Sometimes, particularly with the major obstacles we face in life, life is like that. There's this massive wall that seems to stand between us and success at times. It could be anything from an issue in a personal or professional connection to a problem with money or school. No matter what the issue is, we'll likely feel helpless in the face of it, like waves crashing on a rock but without the luxury of time to wait for it to crumble into sand. It's pointless because of this.
It's easy to go into a rut where we merely go through the rituals of living, getting up, maybe praying, washing up, and starting our days as usual without giving any thought to how we're going to overcome whatever is obstructing our view of the sun.
Life might feel like a massive, unsolvable cryptographic problem at times, leaving you feeling like you're trapped in the matrix. More often than I like to admit, I've been there.
However, I've learned that occasionally the best solution to an issue that seems intractable can be as easy as 1, 2, 3.
You need to take a step back and let your minds wander, to try to relax, to think of and do other things, and to give your brains the room they need to perform as they should without the added pressure.
Don't hesitate to ask for assistance from those who might know where to find what you need.
Recognize that what may seem like an issue that needs solving may not be a problem at all, and even if it is, it is not yours to solve.
Sometimes we need to step away from an issue for a little, a little brain cooling, and then we may find the solution has been staring us in the face the whole time.
Admittedly, there are occasions when you can't just put the issue down and walk away. In order to find a solution, we may need assistance from others. Then, one must have the modesty to acknowledge that human beings are limited and dependent on the kindness of others.
The aforementioned two options, as easy as they may seem, are actually the most challenging ones to implement.
First, there are those who just refuse to release their grip. To further elaborate on the second point, we may be reluctant to own our own frailties or to reveal our vulnerabilities to others for fear of being seen as weak. We shy away from embracing our frailties because we refuse to believe they are inherent to being human.
But the final part, tolerance, bears examination.
Not every issue in life needs to be fixed by us. Consider the futile attempt to save a poisonous relationship. It could also be a friendship you're hoping to develop, entry into a restricted area, or someone's stamp of approval.
Perhaps our best chance of success here depends on our willingness to accept the current state of affairs as something we can do nothing to change. In fact, it can be devastating for us when we try to be stubborn and go against this natural law.
Those are simply my opinions, though, so take them or leave them; at this point in my life's path, I find myself:
Breaking away from intractable issues
I'm embracing the risk of asking for aid where it's needed by leaning into my natural tendency toward vulnerability.
And accepting myself — flaws and all — without treating the world as a jigsaw puzzle to be solved. So, I'm just going to have to take my life's path as it comes.

I remember one of my beshies always has the simplest way to solve a problem, edi tanggalin and problema tanggalin yung nagpapahirap or nagdadala ng problema. lagi nyang sinasabi na simple lang at wag na gawing komplikado ang bagay bagay, pero minsan kelangan mo talaga isipin kung paano.
