Run away! Do you ever find yourself simply avoiding a big problem? Even though you know for sure that problem is not going away on its own, it's just too hairy and slippery to figure out right now and it doesn't seem as if the effort is worth the anxiety.
But what eventually happens to our anxiety if we do nothing about our problems? It just grows bigger.
Before I run from a problem I need to ask if that's the best solution for all concerned.
How about you?
