I spent a few minutes trying to squeeze a window screen into place. I tried pushing, bending, prying. It was fractionally too big.

Then I realized that it shouldn’t be this hard; I must be doing it the wrong way.

So I fed the screen completely through the opening and tried securing it to the outermost side of the frame.

And it worked.

Sometimes we don’t need to struggle and force and deconstruct. Sometimes we just need another way in.

When we can’t modify the situation, we need to modify the way we see things.
