The problem with problems is so often in the way we handle the problem. Here are some of the common ways we mishandle problems and how to avoid making the problem worse. Don’t ignore, they don’t go away. Don’t downplay it. Don’t over react to it. Don’t take advantage of the problem. Don’t complicate the problem. Don’t fix it publicly. Don’t hold onto a problem. Saying sorry solves a lot. Be accessible. Be approachable. Be appropriate. Simplify it. Take action against the problem. The problem is the problem, not our loved ones. Be sure that the grace, mercy and forgiveness you show others, you also extend to those closest to us.
