The Chuck Norris Story
Have you ever noticed that little problems have a tendency to turn into big problems when they’re ignored? And that ignoring little problems is a very easy thing to do?
Little squeaks turn into costly mechanical failures. Misunderstandings between friends and relatives, left to fester, turn into giant social problems, and bills left unpaid will compound causing creditors to become enemies instead of friends.
Little problems that are quite manageable, left to be eroded by time, turn into big problems. They often cost large amounts of time, money, emotional distress, and even relationships! Soon a lifestyle is created, and your way of thinking turns into what psychologists call a “crisis mentality,” meaning that you can only function from one crisis to another.
This is a trap you definitely want to avoid!
