Sometimes you need to keep digging to find the answers. Everything makes sense with enough information. If something isn’t making sense, it’s because you’ve probably made an assumption and you don’t have enough actual information
Most things happen for a reason, and it’s your job to uncover the actual reason. Not the reason you think should be the answer but the actual reason.
Our brains love to shortcut things and think it’s seen this story before and therefore uses unrelated data to complete a story. This is not a good way to think. It’s quick, but not effective. Every single situation has different data points, decision points, and variables. Some of the variables are big and significant and some are small and seemingly insignificant.
Regardless of the size of the variable, the simple act of changing one very tiny thing actually changes everything.
So be rigorous with your thinking. Use all the data points you can find and then go find some more. Keep digging!
