This is an interesting quote, and is probably the reason why so many problems seem unsolvable. If you have a problem in your life and are trying to deal with it from the same emotional state you were when you created it, you won’t be able to come up with a good solution. Only when you think better, clearer, and with a better emotional feeling will you have the inspiration needed to come up with a workable answer. Many times Einstein would make a quote that’s related to his work, but it has the direct ability to be applied to other areas of life.
