There have been a few times recently when I’ve said myself “I really wish I could fix X, it has been a slight annoyance for a long time.” I stop for a moment and realize right there, just feet from where I am standing I find the solution.

I already had what you needed to fix that slight annoyance, now look to see what other annoyances I have the tools to fix.

Here’s my story. I wanted to bring my cell phone to my bedroom because I needed the alarm. I didn’t want to unplug the cord and bring it back, because it is in a good place. I realized I already have another charger so I pulled it out of the drawer that was RIGHT NEXT TO MY BED.

Now I’m all set.

What I needed was within feet of where I needed it. And it is just a matter of being just barely outside of consciousness. We might be just a little too busy or hurried. But by slowing down just a bit and analyzing the situation a solution was readily available.

Such is life.
