Dean Graziosi argues that avoidance is the word behind most personal catastrophes. Small problems you ignore balloon into crises, and opportunities you dodge disappear entirely. Confront issues early and seize openings before they're gone.
How many of you, as you look back on your life, would recognize that avoidance played a huge role in some of the catastrophes that you've experienced? As I thought about the catastrophes of my life, problems that, that could have been solved when they were small, but I didn't solve them when they were small and they grew into something much, much bigger, and opportunities that I could have built when they had an opening, but I didn't, and I avoided them, and then that opening closed. It all came down to one word: avoidance.
