Growing

The book I am reading quoted Einstein as saying "No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that caused it."

I've heard that quote before, but today it really made me think. And I liked the conclusions.

I decided that:
  1. all the time I spend reading is time well spent
  2. it's okay if I can't come up with the solution right now - I just need to learn a little more
  3. asking for help is a good idea - a different mind will have a different perspective

So I guess I can cut myself a little slack for some of the "problems" I don't see a solution to. And it's great to get affirmation that the time I spend "studying"/reading & listening, is truly time well spent. I can just tell my husband I am solving all our problems!
