I’ve learned that most of the time when I face problems, I don’t always address the root cause. I’m very good at what I’d call “proactive laziness”: I’ll do absolutely everything—except the one thing that actually solves the problem. For example, if I have an issue with person A, I’ll talk to everyone I can… except A.
When you avoid the real issue, problems drag on, and your mind becomes consumed by them. And when your mind is held captive, so are your thoughts. That’s no way to live. I’ve realised that facing problems directly is crucial—not only because it resolves the issue, but because it frees your heart.
A light and free heart has changed my life. I’ve become more willing to face hard conversations with anyone, because I now value my peace of mind above everything else. I put on my oxygen mask first, then I can help others. I’ve also stopped complaining—because if you can complain about something, you already know what needs to be fixed. So why not keep that power to change in your own hands?
It’s time to become the true leader of your own life. Be brave enough to face, to think, and to change.
