When it Can’t be Fixed

After all the brainstorming is done and creativity has been exhausted, there are some things that just can’t be fixed. The trick is to recognize quickly when we are faced with a reality we must accommodate rather than a problem we can solve. A leaky roof is a problem that can be resolved; too much rain is a reality we have to work with. By identifying the things we can’t fix and taking them off our plate, we are free to focus our energy and resources directly on fixing the problems we can.
