The solution to your problem is not going to be found in the problem. It's not going to be found in there. You have to get out of the problem so that you can look at it, make an assessment, and you can assess how to solve the problem or whether you need to solve the problem or not.

I mean, there's a lot of things in my life right now where I shrug my shoulders and go, "Okay, okay. Oh, someone's saying this. Okay. Roger that. Like, carry on. No factor. Move on." And then occasionally, you go, "Okay, this is something I need to contend with. This is something I need to deal with.

This is something I need to shape or adjust or move or solve, to use your word." And the reason I laugh when I say that is because problems, you have to get in there, but if you take a step back, you can usually say, "Oh, a little adjustment here, a little adjustment there," and that thing's going to sort itself out.
