"The greatest and most important problems in life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown."

In other words forget the really big stuff; you can't do anything about it and/or maybe you can but only a little.
Do you think this includes significant cash flow, personnel and/or declining sales problems? Certainly in the extreme these are big, important issues to any company experiencing them but would they have made Jung's list?
I've been through all of these finding some to be "solvable" but rarely as I had hoped. Also a few went away before I could or did try to fix them.
Did I "outgrow" them? I don't believe so.
I think Jung's "certain sense" reference applied to business is a suggestion that we need to look for alternatives other than the one we originally expected and hoped to find.
What do you think?
Happy Thanksgiving!

The key is to be flexible when considering outcomes. There isn't one path to business success, there are many. Does it matter if you get where you want to go even though you do so differently than you originally assumed you would?
