The following blog posts were written on my original blog over five years ago. This article is part of my 37 Life Lessons From My Youth Series. Note: I’ve matured a lot since then and my “voice” has changed since. Enjoy.
Ignoring the big issues in your life is the last thing you should do.
Here’s an example to prove it:
Imagine for one week, you are not able to place your dirty laundry in your hamper.
Instead you are only allowed to place your dirty laundry on the floor in the center of your room.
Now not only do you constantly have to be aware of it and walk around it.
But it’s always growing.
Eventually you would realize that just avoiding that pile of dirty laundry is a pain in the ass.
The same applies to the struggles in life that you are facing.
Stand up for yourself and shut down the issue.
Because if you don’t, the issue will be there and continue to grow.
Are You Ignoring Your Problems?
Are you ignoring the fact that you’re getting fatter every month?
Stop ignoring it and learn how to lose weight and what fat-loss methods to use.
Do it before you become obese and die of a fat stroke.
Ignoring the fact that your girlfriend is being disrespectful to you on a regular basis?
Stop ignoring it and figure out ways to make the relationship work or dump her.
Do it before you come home one day to find your girlfriend with another man in your bed.
Aren’t you tired of not having money and not being able to pay off your bills?
Stop ignoring it and figure out ways to cut expenses and make some more cash.
Do it before you find yourself out on the streets because you couldn’t make ends meet.
Final Checkpoint
You need to figure out how you are going to solve your problems and you need to do it as soon as possible.
But don’t just read advice – that means nothing. You must act! Work for it.
You only have one life – Why wouldn’t you want to make it easier and secure?
Stop ignoring your problems, solve them.
Because ignoring a problem isn’t a solution.
It won’t be and it never will be.
