2 of 30 Things to Stop and Start Doing for Yourself

Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them.  We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems.  That’s not how we’re made.  In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall.  Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time.  This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

It can get scary when we don't know what to do when a problem arises or how to 'fix' something.  But you can always ask for help from a trusted confidant.  Running from a problem just teaches you how to run and sometimes how to run faster.  WM of PBC

Start facing your problems head on. – It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them.  Problems will not disappear unless you take action.  Do what you can, when you can, and acknowledge what you’ve done.  It’s all about taking baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch.  These inches count, they add up to yards and miles in the long run.


When you address the issue, you may find it didn't have the power you gave to it.  You choose how you react to everything.  You choose how much power it has over you.  WM of PBC
