Problem-Solving Mindset

Problems are permanent,

not going anywhere,

From birth to death,

they are fixtures in life,

only changing form and magnitude,

so, we need the right attitude

to tackle them, and not run away,

for they grow, if avoided.

Right now, I have issues around me:

a mold growth under the sink,

mice activity in the garden,

my kid’s school uses strong scents,

which makes me angry,

little son has eczema, with ugly flare-ups,

I have no job, and spouse is loaded with bills,

my mother is old and widow,

siblings lost in old world,

I hate wildfires burning down,

nature, critter, architecture,

floods killing little girls,

privileged folks showing off,

dwindling empathy, and rising psychopathy,

no one wants to listen

on the severity of inflammation.

Education holds little value,

in the business-driven era.

It’s overwhelming, and depressing.

But I can’t let them paralyze me,

or hijack my happiness.

So I hone my problem-solving mindset,

so I can function, and enjoy the journey,

despite the obstacles and agony.
