You give great advice to friends. Clear. Rational. Sharp.
 Then it’s your turn—and suddenly everything feels messy.

That’s not a flaw. It’s Solomon’s Paradox.

We’re objective with other people’s problems because we’re not emotionally inside them. With our own life, money, or business, fear and ego cloud the view. We’re too zoomed in to think clearly.

The workaround is surprisingly simple: self-distancing.

When you’re stuck, stop asking, “What should I do?”
 Ask it in the third person: “What should Rosha do here?”
Or whatever your name is.

That small shift creates space. Space brings clarity. And clarity brings better decisions.

Today’s Move: The next time you’re stuck, give yourself advice the way you’d give it to a close friend. You already know the answer—you just need enough distance to hear it.
