Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to develop an ability when you concentrate on it?  I’m not referring to becoming aware of a problem and solving it, but something which often takes place when you do so.

If you have a problem and think about it all the time, you are likely to create more of a problem.  This is because you add stress and other variables into the actual path to reaching the solution.  Instead of just realizing what you have to do and taking action, you are taking unnecessary steps to finding a simple solution.

You may have heard before of a process in which you “take a few steps back,” in order to solve a problem.  This tends to work because you are in fact separating yourself and the problem.  In turn, you are taking you and your emotions out of the equation and leaving a problem and a solution.  It might seem like a simplistic view, but most if not all problems really are that simple.
