Oh! What’s that there? It appears you have a little problem on your hands.

Are you going to deal with it? Of course not! You’re going to do what we all do best. Flee. Don’t worry, little problems have short stubby legs. If you run away, it will take ages for it to catch up with you.

During this period you can hide from your problems. Just try to change-up your locations. You can’t stay in one place. Problems may be slow, but they are relentless. Try under the bed, in your closet, or at a friend’s house.

Still, even if you are an expert at concealing yourself, you’ll find others are never satisfied until they point out your problems. Some people have no manners.

So should you deal with it now? Nah. I’d buy more time by focusing on smaller, easier-to-handle problems. So you still feel like you’re accomplishing something.

Do you know what you can do to take running away from that problem up a notch? Fly to another country. Problems are notoriously afraid of airplanes and can only get to you via boat. By the time they reach your new home, you’ll already be living a new life somewhere else.

However, I’ll warn you, it’s not going to be as restful as you think. No matter where you go, you’ll encounter different types of problems. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Eventually, you’ll miss your family and friends. So you’ll decide to return and face your problem.

Oh. Oh no…

It seems as if while you were gone your problem grew from something small and manageable into a literal beast of a problem. You’ll want to run somewhere far away, so the problem can’t touch you.

But you don’t. You stand your ground. It’s time to be brave and tackle this guy, even if you lose the battle.

Unless you have money. In which case just throw lots of cash at the problem and it will go away.

Or maybe not? You know what they say…

More money, more problems.
