Running
We run in
different directions
to escape from
our inner demons.
We run to travel,
drugs, music, religion.
We run to running.
We even run to poetry.
Inevitably,
our demons outrun us,
and we must confront them
face to face.
Confronting Problems
Problems do not disappear. If we don’t confront them, they may hide for a while, but sooner or later they will reappear. Eventually we will be forced to face them and take some action. Whether that action is in the form of solving the problem or accepting it is not important, but rather that we consciously come to a decision about what we are going to do. It is that decision that gives us the ability to again move forward in our lives with added strength and the possibility of happiness.
This is, however, not an easy process. We must make the effort to learn more about ourselves: to evaluate our temperament ,our skills, and our enthusiasms before we are ready to make the necessary decisions that can bring us to the discovery and fulfillment of our own particular destiny. Understanding ourselves is an adventure that is ultimately exciting and Joyful
It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.

The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.
