Gravity Problems

Some problems in life are gravity problems.
As Bill Burnett of Stanford’s design program calls them, gravity problems are problems you have no control over.

Like hurricanes.
Or seasons.
Or gravity.

You can try all you want, but you won’t change them.
There is a lot of pushing and head banging about problems that are unmovable forces.

Everyone is spending a lot of time worrying about things they can’t change.

When you are trying to curate your best life, you will face obstacles that seem like gravity problems…

Not enough money.
The people in your life need to do things the RIGHT way.  (Aka your way.)
You’re not happy in your job.

You can spend a lot of time trying to figure out if you have a gravity problem or not, but a better use of your energy is to ask yourself the question:

“What CAN I change?”

Hint: You can change what you think, feel and do.

That’s all.
Everything else is gravity.

What is your biggest challenge today?
What can you think, feel or do differently?
