The Change you Want to See

Take a second to consider it – What is the change you want to see? Better yet, what is the change you need to see? The change that you demand of yourself. That you NEED to demand of yourself to see your world open up to new opportunities and avenues for growth? Is it giving up old, unfocused activities? Is it switching careers?

There are some problems that are very hard to solve, many medical ailments spring to mind. And many more in software as well. But sometimes what is preventing us from solving the problem, from properly solving the problem, isn’t the complexity of it, but our own clarity of it. What am I trying to solve?
