“I don’t have problems, I have puzzles.”
I heard this in a Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix and it really stuck.
Because words matter more than we think.
When your brain hears problem, it can trigger stress, overwhelm, even shutdown.
When it hears puzzle,it leans into curiosity, problem-solving, possibility.
That’s the difference between feeling stuck…
and starting to move forward.
This is what we mean by a reframe.
You’re not ignoring reality…..
you’re changing your relationship to it.
And that’s often where change begins.
