1. Distinguish what you can and can't control.

[FreyaRed]

I try to understand thing from different reference point to estimate reason and motivations of others. Second step is to filter out all those fake, propaganda and intentionally misinformation. Third step is estimation if I can have any influence on specific problem and what risk it brings to me. Four step preparation for possible situations which can happen and type of my reaction.
1. reconnaissance
2. intelligence work
3. threat estimation
4. battlefield assessment.

Changing perspective or developing the ability to view a problem from many different perspectives and understanding the best possible solution with pragmatism.

@Nikki1989 Nikki, your update comment is probably most important on solving problems. I try not to create a problem, but that is not always possible. I try to address it up front and make some decisions on how to confront the problem, IF it is in fact beyond my control from occurring. Act on my decision ASAP and hope I can address it and solve it quickly.

The key is there is not key. Sounds like out a movie but true. One thing works for some and not for others therefore they key is in yourself.
Only you decide how, what, when life is raking you over the coals and if you try to find someone else to put the fire out or pull you off your no longer YOU! I'd rather be me.

I am sure that people would be happier, if they just leave other people alone, and mind their own business. This goes for any situation that is applicable. People should not judge others, should not control them, and shouldn't try to manipulate them or take advantage. Just be kind, live simply, and don't assume everyone is the same.

Don’t let it bother you.
when we let go of the little things (problems) it’s off our shoulders… light as feather.
a wise man once told me.. like a ducks outer feather… when it rains let the rain roll off.

Identifying the reality and actual cause of the problem.

It's hard to solve anything in a productive fashion if you can't get an honest assessment of what's actually going on.

I think the best key is to take action instead of overthinking your problems. 🫵🔑

[AviatorTom]

Best is to try to not create problems that can't be easily solved.

[NathanDavis]

a very healthy mix of realistic and sound, expectations...

then... we can focus on what's actually a problem, and not waste time with things that really aren't...

[AngryCarl3]

There's no key, you just have to figure it out.

Except for death, there is a solution to many things.

Intelligence and believe are main things

[theskyrider]

You should change the way how you look at the problem, you will get a solution

CubaPirate Is correct its patients and understanding id you got that then you got it in the bag

[Xawyx-2]

If you have enough money, you can solve most problems.

[Nikki1989]

I have never understood that attitude but OK.

[Xawyx-2]

I mean - compared to poor people, rich people can solve so much more problems... pure logic.
I guess my attitude is a professional deformation (Economics).

[Nikki1989]

Yes, you need to pay the bills.

[Xawyx-2]

If you're rich, you can also reduce the electricity bills to zero by having your own energy (solar panels, wind-power, micro hydro power-plant).
You can also have your own source of water, e. g if you have land with small river/creek, lake, spring or a water well - no water bills anymore.

[andreasderjuengere]

... to find the right keyhole, I guess?

[Deepinthought345]

Know that nothing is permanent.

[CubaPirate]

Patience and understanding

[Badtobad]

There is no key. Only fools believe that
