Where there's a will, there's a way.

- old English proverb
Sometimes the way to the pot of gold on the other side of the
mountain is to keep fighting up the steep slippery slope, but often it
is better to walk around the mountain. Also consider refocusing your
attention on another pot of gold that is even larger, shinier, and
virtually at hand.
How often we keep banging our head into the same wall, or to use the
phrase derived from Cervantes Don Quixote, "tilting at windmills." When a
problem seems unsolvable, or a question appears unanswerable, consider
that you may not be asking the best question.
In their own way, problems can be blessings.
They can be the prod to get us out of our complacency and into action.
Problems create an opportunity for us to exercise our ingenuity,
to plan, to persevere, to interact with our social network,
and to feel a sense of accomplishment when we finally overcome the unexpected roadblock.
In the midst of crisis, boldly seize opportunity.
