CHANGE - problem solving (part 1 B)
Almost everyone who tries to solve this problem introduces as part of their problem-solving an assumption which makes the solution impossible. The assumption is that the dots compose a square and its solution must be found within that square. This is a self-imposed condition which the instructions do not contain. If one fails to solve this problem, it is not in the problem itself, but in the attempted solution.
This is one example of a roadblock that can prevent change. One must get out of the self-imposed box that they are stuck in using their own thinking alone. In 12 step recovery groups, it is stressed that one is powerless to solve their own problems and must seek help outside themselves to do it.
