The Myth of Solutions

You want to give up the idea that you can figure out how to solve any of the problems in your life, because I promise that you can’t. If you could figure everything out, you would have by now. As they say in 12-step programs, your very best, smartest thinking led you to where you are right now. Thinking your way out isn’t the answer.

Trying doesn’t work, either. We already know that there is no such thing as “try”; there is only “do.” Trying to lose 20 pounds doesn’t mean anything. It’s actually doing the work necessary to drop the weight that matters. So you can stop trying, too.

Oh, and while you’re at it, you can also stop “having faith.” That’s not what this conversation is about, because people turn that into expecting miracles and believing that magic will take over. You’ll probably be waiting for a long time, if not forever.

But this reality is far from hopeless. It’s actually good news when we finally understand that we don’t have to fight to overcome anything. We don’t have to fix our problems; that’s just more change. Rather, we want to re-create our perceptions of them. We don’t get “unstuck.” We come into our authenticity, and then the stuck energy melts away. Jesus, one of the greatest teachers who ever lived, said, “The truth shall set you free.” Notice that he didn’t say, “Face the truth, and then go fix it.”

From my own experience, what I can humbly add is that owning the truth reveals who you really are. You shift from within, and then, from real power, are able to let go of everything that isn’t you (the excess marble, if you will). Suddenly you’ll see previously obscured pathways that are now available to you.

This may sound like bad news to any of you type A personalities out there who want a clear-cut agenda, but there is no “how” when it comes to getting to your authenticity. Thinking, trying, or hoping your way into being real won’t work. As I’ve said, we don’t need to fix, figure out, or do anything. There is no thing to do. The truth is right here, fully available to us in every single present moment. All we need to do is open up to it, let it in, experience it, and let it be.
