Invite Their Theory   #

Prospect lays out a problem.  
Your inner fixer grabs a toolbelt.  
Pause.

Instead of hammering answers, offer space:  
“What’s your theory on why that’s happening?”

The Buddha taught that insight arises from direct seeing,  
not borrowed wisdom.

Ask and you hand them the flashlight.  
They illuminate root causes you’d never guess.

People trust the maps they draw themselves.  
When they speak the pain in their own words,  
they’re halfway to choosing the cure.

Your job isn’t to solve first.  
It’s to listen,  
nudge curiosity,  
and walk beside.

Solutions land softer  
when built on their theory,  
not dropped from your mountaintop.
