When we are too close to a problem, where we are in the middle of it, it often looks too hard to solve.

But when we step away from it and look at it from a different perspective, the same problem looks solvable and situations more manageable.

This is common sense, so not too tough to understand, but practicing stepping away when experiencing a challenging experience is not easy.

We need to remember this for those times.

That is why talking to someone who is not in the same frame of mind as you helps because that person can give you a different perspective.

That is where a trusted advisor for a business and a wise friend in case of life situations are so important. Keep them close always.
