I’m currently reading Seth Godin’s new book The Knot: Problems Can Be Solved. An early takeaway in the book is how Godin established the difference between a problem and a situation.
As the subtitle states, problems can be solved.
A situation, however, cannot be solved.
It can only be made better or worse.
A situation exists despite your best efforts.
The key is deciding on what you will focus your energy.
Will you battle an untenable situation or will you tackle an actual problem?
The choice is yours.
