There are no Comfortable Problems Left to Solve.

Seth Godin expounds on the non profit sector and fundraising in this great video with Amy Eisenstein . The problems we now fave are prickly and complicated. ” If we knew how to solve child hunger, we would have solved it”. 

We, all of us,  need to think about solutions. Try  different approaches. Evaluate and try again. For regular readers, this will sound so familiar but I believe it needs to be said again and again to break us from the ruts we are stuck in.

I understand the insanity of doing the same things over and over expecting a different result (Einstein) but I don’t understand not changing what we are doing.  The opportunities for as yet unimagined solutions lays in taking small persistent incremental change risks every day. Not change for change sake but change for the sake of making a difference.

Seth’s quote ” If we knew how to solve … we would have done that” also reflects that we know what we are doing isn’t going to solve the issue. If you are on a weight loss regime and you aren’t losing weight, you need to do something else. If we are attempting to eliminate homelessness and the numbers continue to rise, we need to do something differently. If you want to slow climate change through awareness campaigns and …

If we continue to manage social issues, social issues manage to continue.

Make Today Remarkable, by doing something differently,
