Why It’s Easier to Solve Our Friend’s Problems Than Our Own
Do you find it easier to be generous and offer solutions to your friend’s problems rather than your own? You’re not alone. But have you ever stopped to wonder why that is?
Here are two useful reasons to consider:
1. Unaware of Boundaries: When we try to solve our friend’s problems, we may be unaware of all the boundaries they have set up, both real and imaginary. These boundaries could be holding them back from finding a solution on their own. By offering a fresh perspective and loosening these constraints, we can make the problem easier to solve.
2. Fear of Resistance: Often, resistance is real when it comes to solving our own problems. Moving forward means confronting new challenges, which can be daunting and scary. It’s easier to remain in our comfort zone and avoid the unknown. However, when we truly care about solving our own problems, we must be willing to embrace the challenges that come our way.
So the next time you find it easier to solve someone else’s problem, remember to apply the same care and commitment to solving your own. By loosening the unloosenable constraints and facing the new challenges head-on, you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
