Sometimes, people look at a problem and waste time thinking about solutions that are unavailable to them. Here is a superpower: not doing that.
If you need to get downtown quickly and your car has a flat tire, you could lament the fact that you can’t fly. Heck, you could lament the fact that you have a flat tire! You could dream of easier solutions. This and a dollar get you a cup of coffee, as they say.
My son, who is 5, is folding his laundry. One of the difficult parts of this chore for him is turning his shirts right-side in; his physical dexterity (though fine) isn’t great enough to make this a quick and effortless gesture. He did not complain once about that. In fact, he didn’t even try it a second time. He tried the “normal way” once, decided it wasn’t the best method, and has now been putting on each clean shirt individually and pulling it back off – right-side in. Takes about 5-10 seconds per shirt.
There is always a solution that will work. The shortest way to that solution, I promise you, does not pass through lament about the solutions that won’t.
