Even a small pebble could seem like a daunting rock when we see it from very close quarters; conversely, a large rock would seem like a pebble when seen from a distance. The key to problem solving is to place oneself at the optimum distance to see the pebble clearly without getting overly close to be overwhelmed by it or too far to lose sight of it.  Shruti Krishnamoorthy, with some pertinent examples, explains the subtle aspect of problem solving.  Our mind has the capacity to help us pause and reflect prior to taking actions so that those very actions benefit us in the long term.  In fact, the mind has the capacity to help us withdraw from the most serious matters if considered dangerous or harmful to us.
