Taking on challenges and overcoming them is how we all grow and learn. The more we develop, and the more we know, the greater our likelihood for success will be — in every situation. That is why you should never run from a challenge.

If there’s a problem in your life, and it is pretty small, what do you do? You solve it. No big deal, since it wasn’t a major issue, right? But what if the problem were huge? What then? One common “solution” is to brush it under the carpet, and hope that it just goes away. “If I ignore it, it can’t hurt me.” That may be true in some situations, but most definitely not in all. Plus, you are sacrificing a great opportunity when you don’t face your problems head-on!

Opportunities exist everywhere, in every moment. Some of them take the form of extra steps you could take to make your life better. Many, however, spontaneously pop up disguised as intimidating troubles that you may not immediately want to address. Running from a problem can seem easy, but it’s really the more difficult choice. When you run, you expend your energy canceling or escaping the symptoms a problem produces, and hiding it from the world. When you wrestle your problem to the ground and attack it at its core, you eliminate all the symptoms and their origin simultaneously. You also gain experience that will aid you in the future.

Another shortcoming to running from a problem is that it may lead to the harm of others. Whenever a problem exists, there is a great likelihood that you aren’t the only person affected by it. If you choose to ignore and avoid it, you may find yourself temporarily safe, but your friend could be put in jeopardy. No one wants to see a friend hurt because they didn’t face their own responsibility. If you know you’ll have trouble solving the problem on your own, maybe your friend can help. If you work together, you can accomplish incredible things. It is always better to work toward a solution than toward the avoidance of an issue.

Both choices (run or solve) involve a great deal of energy on your part. However, when you run, there are risks, and you could potentially have to keep running forever. On the other hand, as soon as you solve the problem, it’ll be gone for good! No more problem, and no more worries in that area. Not only will you know more and be more capable, you’ll be free.
