I want to address a particular thought that appears to be quite common for many of us.

How many of you think it's easier not to deal with your issues? How many of you think it's easier to sweep your problems under the rug or hide them in the closet with all the other skeletons?

Believe me, I'm not judging... I can attest to this thinking.

What I've come to learn, however, is that while it might be difficult to deal with our problems head on, it sure is a heck of a lot easier than trying to live with them for the rest of our lives.
