What happens to problems that you ignore?
They don't go away, do they?
They get in your way. And, chances are, in someone else's way, too
Every problem left unattended slows somebody down.
Why not get started in solving it today?

Why Take Fear for an Answer?
Fear of a problem will not solve the problem.
When fear does not serve you, why serve the fear?

How Many Solutions?
Probably not all of the time.
Some problems require more than one solution.
Not because you have an A-plan and a B-plan in case the A-plan doesn't work -- but because your A-plan includes a variety of changes to the source of your problem to fix that thing once and for all.
Or at least long enough to get some really great work done on your goals, enjoy your life, and laugh a bit.
Because we'll always be blessed with problems. And some of them need a bunch of solutions to stay solved.
