there are only two kinds of problems.

solvable problems have a solution. unsolvable problems have none.

it’s easy to have a high tolerance for solvable problems, letting them pile up or compound rather than addressing or neutralizing them as quickly and effectively as possible, and a low tolerance for unsolvable problems, being very loud about circumstances that are inherent to the human condition, or that require more cooperation or patience than man has ever been known to muster.

look at your life. solve the solvable problems and you’ll have less energy for the handwringing and gnashing of teeth over unsolvable ones. you’ll know which ones are which.

let the solvable problems make you stronger and let the unsolvable problems make you softer.
