When longing for an escape from a tangled mess, making the mistake of a quick and easy exit can be tempting. But falling victim to the clutter only gives it more power to continue to grow, consuming everything within its reach.

Taking action and combing through each knot, although extensive and exhausting, frees the spirit more effectively and decreases its vulnerability of being consumed by the same self-destructing events that may have created the mess in the first place.

In other words:

If following a script gets you in a bind, take your time and write new lines. The show must go on for all — until that final curtain call.
