Back Burner

For a few days, I was stuck with a problem and could not find a way to solve it. Then, this morning, I woke up with a very creative solution.

How many times has it happened to you?

We often rush to a solution because we want the problem out of our way, even though we know it might not be the best solution.

Sometimes, the best strategy is to put our unsolved problems on the back burner and be comfortable with them.

However, learning to focus on the journey rather than its outcome usually takes a very long time.
