Puzzles vs Muscles

We feel stuck in our pursuits of solving our money, health and relationship problems because of the "Puzzle mindset". ". It's thinking, "If only I can figure out this one missing piece, everything else will fall into place".

This approach is deeply flawed as we overestimate the impact of this one step and forget that there are endless steps to become truly great at anything. The pressure to make this great leap is so burdening that it causes in- action and unclarity. Making us feel that we lack something.

To overcome this trap, stop thinking of the problem as a "Puzzle" that needs to be solved, instead start thinking of it as a "Muscle" you can grow. This way, you lower the pressure of figuring it out and focus more on showing up each day, making incremental gains.
