III. The Levels of Problem-Solving
Problem-solving is the essence of what leaders exist to do.
Level 1 — You solve the problem.
Level 2 — You solve the problem that caused the problem.
Level 3 —You avoid the problem that caused the problem.
Level 3 is the most valuable but hardest to see.

What do you want most out of life?
V. This Week I Will
Mindfully make my bed.
Perform a random act of kindness.
Reflect on how I have bloomed through adversity in my life.
Practice patience and allow things to unfold in their own time.
Think of 3 people who have made a difference in my life. Write them a note expressing my appreciation and thanking them. Deliver it by mail, email, text, social media or hand.
Life’s greatest adventures and discoveries await us just outside our comfort zone.
The Last Words…
“When physical distancing is deemed necessary, social and emotional connectedness is even more critical.”
