Solving problems...

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them. (Einstein)

• Identify or define the problem
• Can you trace back to when the problem started and who it involved?
• Is the problem a symptom of a greater cause?
• Is there a quick solution or evolving solution to the problem?
• What have you done to fix the problem?
• Does it work?
• Does it actually work?
• What else can be done to address the problem?
• Does the problem lie within you or outside of you?
• Does the problem lie within your experience of yourself when faced with the problem?
• Have you ever taken time to address the problem with self?
• How do you react to the problem when it occurs?
• Can you avoid the problem before it occurs?
• Is the problem unavoidable? Why or why not?
• Does the problem make you happy?
• What steps can you make to be happy?
