How do you know a problem is genuinely new to you?
None of your usual methods work. It's a lock with a hidden trick — a simple key won't open it.
That does not mean nobody in the world has faced such a problem before. But you have no idea where the answer is hidden. And you need a solution fast.
So what do you do?
You have no choice but to explore options. When the stakes are high, you will have to grab onto anything that offers hope. Try one thing, then another, then a tenth, until something inside the lock finally clicks.
The process is hard, but straightforward. So what can get in your way?
“Mistakes,” “inefficiency,” and the “waste” of time, money, and effort.
The false belief that you can avoid pointless expenses.
The expectation of leaping straight to the finish line.
This is the surest way to tie your own activity up in shibari rope. Right now, you need the opposite. You need to spend resources knowing that almost all of them will be wasted.
Almost is the key word. A sculpture requires wasted clay. A sharp pencil is bought with shavings. Nonsense gives birth to sense.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
