Damage control

Everything is wonderful in theory, but putting it in practice comes with unexpected challenges that  test the very core of all that you have known to be true. Life is volatile, every moment new situations evolve, and our very survival rests on the hinges of change. It doesn't matter if it is in your professional life or personal life, the saying change or perish is universally true. Life is like flowing water, if you are like the rock that is immoveable in the river, you are going to be chipped down to pebbles sooner or later. Be proud and perish or be humble , seek help and survive.  I understand asking for help is not an easy task, for once, we assume there aren't many who are ready to reach out . Rejection is not easy, but you owe it to yourself to try.

Accepting that there is a problem in your life is the first step in solving it. Somehow , it is so much easier to just live in the dreamland, and sweep your problems under the carpet, believing what you can't see, does not exist.Sometimes the reason we fail to see the signs of trouble is because it can be overwhelming and result in change.

• Pinpointing what the problem is the second step. It is so much more convenient to accept things at face value especially when we know complex situations demands drastic solutions/change. 
• When we ignore the problem for a long time,  the only option remaining is damage control. This is one aspect which is so widely underrated, although we all agree that to err is human , and we all make mistakes
•  Damage control requires lots of courage- because to admit that you committed a blunder, means letting go of your ego and until and unless we are an enlightened monk, we still struggle to control and work around our  pride and ego.

If more people were honest about their failures and struggles, it would make more people  less susceptible to shame and more open to admitting and  rectifying our mistakes.
