The thing about solutions

Solutions are readily available. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get in our own way to them. For instance, when the remote goes out, we know where the spare batteries are, but we are too tired to get them. You don’t need another solution; you need to follow through. Bigger problems like climate change also have solutions. But again, we can’t get out of our way to implement them. Perhaps, the problem isn’t finding solutions but the courage to implement them. (Or maybe convincing the world there is a path. Indeed, our nature is to give up when the situation feels hopeless.)
