The case of solving complex problems with surprising ideas and new perspectives is exemplified by Alexander the Great’s ‘Gordian Knot’ or the ‘Egg of Columbus.’ If you have tried using the same perspective and approach but have not achieved your goal, you must tackle it from a completely different perspective and method. Nevertheless, the reason we continue to cling to our previous perspective and direction is that we focus too much on the method. If you get caught up in the method, you lose sight of your purpose. If you lose your purpose, you may end up trying the same method again. If the will is strong and misguided, it is possible to repeat this. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
To achieve your goals, your will and attitude must change accordingly. For instance, if you set a goal to become wealthy, your mindset, attitude, and actions must also align with that goal. The consequences of our actions ultimately shape our lives. Simply understanding something does not lead to change. Those who genuinely want to change their behavior will do so. Before you reach your goal, your will and attitude must adjust to support that direction. Life is a genuine battlefield. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
