Lil Honey Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 between running away from problems and changing things to eliminate the sources of frustration? lil
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 When you run away, problems always catch up to you. Always. If you eliminate the source of the problems - there's nothing there behind you waiting to pounce.
Lil Honey Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I understand, LB. *sigh* Can we use an example? Here is one that applies to me (and probably many): I am very frustrated at work. It's a dead-end job, so I feel stuck and I could cite a million different other reasons why I don't like it here. GAWD, this is SO over-simplified . . . anyway . . . if I leave, I would be eliminating one of my problems, BUT the employment problem remains. I could find work elsewhere, but that doesn't mean that I would be happier or even get paid the same amount. Also, I don't enjoy living in an apartment. I am sitting by watching my daughter waste her time on a loser. My mom is elderly and my siblings find every reason (excuse) not to even VISIT. I'm just thinking that if I blew this pop stand, everything would be "out of sight, out of mind".
