Solving a different problem

Seth Godin's blog post today is just great!

In your life, are you just trying to make something better than it was, or are you really solving the problem (the thing that's bothering you)?

When we feel uneasy, frustrated or unhappy it's easy to look around and place the blame somewhere in our life. We can say, "If only this was better I'd be happy". But is that true?

I'll tell you what I've found. When we make the effort to get to the root of what's bothering us we can then find a true solution. Rather than just "making something better" we can solve the real problem and enjoy the happiness that comes with it.
