If you choose to not deal with an issue,
then you give up your right of control over the issue
and it will select the path of least resistance.

It is useless to fight fire with fire. When you’re offended, it is instinctive to want to fight back in anger.

Fight fire with fire, only adds more negative energy to the situation, making it worse.

First thing in solving a problem is acknowledging its existence as no one can solve a problem that doesn't exist. Shoving the problem under the rug and hoping it will dematerialize is denying its existence.

If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to ­music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient."

It is enough knowing the problem to solve the problem.
