Puzzles have solutions.  They may take time and effort, trial and error, but puzzles have solutions.  Some are very difficult, but puzzles have solutions.  I began to think what might happen if I viewed every problem as being a puzzle, and remembered that every puzzle has a solution. In the midst of puzzling times, this leader was encouraged to keep working at the challenges because all puzzles have a solution.   The Man in the Window
