This is an excellent post and certainly has me thinking about problems in a new light. I feel like I spend a lot of time (and money) in the Zone of Disappointment. I have also had to learn how to accept the unsolvable problems (easier said than done), which requires a degree of humility and an admission that some things are just out of our control.
I wrote this letter in the second-person tense, but it was secretly an exercise in helping me understand why so much of my own solution-oriented spending ends in disappointment. So: I feel you! 😅 I'm exceedingly happy to hear you found the framework useful. Hopefully, better understanding leads to better results—for both of us—moving forward!
I love this framing — it's a very novel but relatable one for me — and I love the graphics even more! Thanks for sharing.
"Novel but relatable" is the highest compliment. Thanks so much, Aja—and I'm glad you enjoyed the graphics as much as I loved drawing them! 🤗
