My mom was excited to eat one of her favorite dishes. Of course, she was sad when she bit into it, as they had overcooked the chicken and it was a bit hard. Obviously disappointed, we could have tossed it or ate it in a disgruntled state, however, instead, we figured out a solution. I took the food and put it in the steamer and steamed it just enough to soften up the exterior while keeping a bit of the crunch. I think in my own life, problem solving is required. From changing plans on the fly to figuring out how to do this and that at conferences, meets or in the classroom, we have to constantly find solutions. I think it's easy to toss our hands up and say, "it's not fair," or "I can't do this," but chances are, you can find a way to maneuver, even if it's not the route you planned. Life is full of detours and we can find ways to workaround things when life throws us that curveball. Somethings you may be fine moving past, but when you want or need to figure out a solution, trust that you can do it.
