When things are difficult, there’s an issue to resolve or something is beyond our control and it could harm us, it’s our nature to move away or run and hide. To succeed at any worthwhile undertaking, instead of running, we must learn to Deal With It!
Dealing with it will take time, energy and focus and a resolve that most of us simply don’t have. It’s much easier to pick up and move over, go down the road and start over or to change your life completely thinking this will provide a tranquility where things don’t happen around us that cause pain. This dreamworld does not exist. We will all have issues and difficulties to face, let’s resolve to deal with them!
Identify the issue, let’s call it a problem. Then realize it may take time to handle this problem so lay out a strategy and time frame to get it resolved. Then get to work on ways to solve this problem and find solutions. Some problems can be left alone and time alone will take care of them. Others need focus and a solution to keep additional pain from coming our way.
When dealing with them, learn to find answers and possible ways to handle them and move quickly setting your strategy in motion. If it’s not working pivot, change course, find a better way or find multiple ways that resolve the problem! Most importantly, don’t back off or look the other way, go through the struggle of solving problems, that is life itself. Learn to Deal With It!
