Life doesn’t always go to plan. Often times you make a mistake or are in a less than perfect situation. You aren’t happy in your relationship, your bedroom door creaks. You’re underperforming at work. Someone is mad at you, or you mistakingly said the wrong thing.
Whatever it may be, it is a drag on what your life could be, creating small stresses that compound into unhappiness.
I’ve found that people get stuck with these less than ideal situations for a very long time, living between the two mental states of doing something or doing nothing. I believe that if you remove this purgatory as an option, you can live a happier life. That decision in this context must be an either-or — live with it, or fix it?
