"Someday, everything is going to be smooth like a rhapsody, when I paint my masterpiece." - Bob Dylan
As I was listening to this song last night it reminded me of a recent conversation with a elected official out of Georgia. He said he ran for office to make a difference and he was frustrated how many problems there were in his county and how he will never achieve his goal of making a difference. He said he just wanted everything to be smooth!
I challenged him to think about it differently. "What would it look like if you went looking for problems to solve rather than waiting for them to come to you?"
"You mean actually hunting up things to fix?" he said. "Yes, that's it," I replied.
"Once you adopt the mindset of problem solver then you elevate your value in the community. Anyone can wait on problems to come to them. After all, in the end it will be
OK. If it is not
OK, then it is not the end."
What problems are you looking to fix?
