Do your problems seem to be splitting your loyalties? Do you find yourself wondering how to honor all of your constituents when your problems are pulling you in multiple directions?
Sometimes this gets to me. How do I prioritize? Which problem do I solve? What comes next?
But it doesn't have to be that way. When we can focus on our true priorities: our mission and our vision and our values - the problems will align themselves. Some we solve (immediately!) some we defer (as soon as possible!) and some we simply let go.
Our problems need not polarize us -- they can instead unify us.
What if the best solutions solved multiple issues? Why not give that a try?
