Hand wringing and worrying about a problem will not make it go away. How often we tend to "what if" ourselves into a total inability to take action or even move. We, many times, just hope beyond hope that it will go away. What if I have cancer? What If I make a mistake? What if people won't like me because of this? We all have "what-ifs". What is your favorite one?

Rather than getting totally frustrated, deal with the problem and move on. Confront the problem head on, Call that doctor, do your homework and make a decision. Communicate with people and explain your reasoning. If they don't like your decision, one thing. If they don't like you, personally, for your decision, they aren't your friends, anyway.

All of use will be faced with problems we wish we weren't required to face. It is a part of life. Rather than worrying about them or ignoring them, face them head on, take action and move ahead with your life. It is too short as it is.
