How often do we passively wait for an all-encompassing solution to fall on our laps?

If we’re honest, we do this quite often. Think about how hard we research a product before making a decision on whether we buy it. We start by filtering out the low-end products that break easily or were met with overwhelming dissatisfaction.

Then we narrow down our choices to a top chosen field… and nitpick. Any of the choices would be more than acceptable, especially if we didn’t know what we were looking for to begin with, but we can’t stop there.

Each minor imperfection is counted against the one minuscule difference it has over another product. It gets to the point where we don’t make a decision, or make one and then are immediately dissatisfied.

We do the same thing in life.

We try to make the best decisions, but are stifled at the thought of making the wrong one. It’s a giant pro/con list we run in our heads (or on paper for those who take it to that end) with no clear victor.

A mindset shift is needed.

There is no all-encompassing solution to meeting our needs. Instead, we must take what is available and use it to the best of our ability while adjusting, modifying and adapting as we go.

When we work in that vein, we create a solution for ourselves.
