Problem Solving is a Life Skill

When it comes down to it, we as a species are no different than our original ancestors, in that we are still trying to survive. There is no greater meaning to our life than those before us, because we all share the same place to live and the responsibility remains the same for all of us to help propel our species forward.  

The world we travel around on now is that same earth they were giving it a go on. If you zoom out and look at what was actually happening for this particular species, it was also happening for every other one. They were all trying to survive. 

Once you solve the problem of survival, i.e. whatever occupation or method you utilize to provide yourself the basic necessities, we need to focus on what is next. How to make our lives and the lives of those around us better. As a human, I understand that for me to operate at my most optimal level I need other humans around me also operating at their optimal level. Together we can achieve things once thought to be impossible. 

Developing your skill of problem solving is 100% required for life. The better you can problem solve, the better the life available to you, in all regards. 

The key to problem solving has not changed ever since your first word problem in math class. What is actually being asked? What is actually happening?
I remember the teacher kept saying “read the problem and answer what it is asking.” So what’s your answer? What do you need to begin or continue that will/is creating the life you can be proud of?
