Reframe.
Life is full problems. But the aim isn't to solve them.
It's to create solutions for them.
The verb is different.
It represents a subtle but important mindset shift.
When you reframe problems into opportunities to build, you unlock creativity.
You tap into what makes you truly human.
The best things are built with no attachment to success.
They are built because they are beautiful in and of themselves.
They are built because there is nothing to do other than create them.
You won't build timeless and beautiful things if you just try to solve the problem. You need to devote yourself to something far greater.
Divorce yourself from the problem, and devote yourself to creating.
And then the thing you build, for the purpose greater than yourself, greater than your small problem, will be beautiful.
Problems will exist forever.
And if what you build doesn't work, it's just an opportunity to tear it down, and build something else.
Something better.
What are you building?
I like it, Zan!
Very uplifting.
I also really liked this line:
“ The best things are built with no attachment to success.”
