What really happens when you only think about areas of your life that feel good and you ignore the one situation that is problematic? It seems like it would linger unchanged until you stop dwelling on all the good feelings about unrelated things and address it.
(your problem) Much like a flower that gets no water, it will die off, where the flowers you give great attention to blossom. Same with your problems. However most of the time, problem are there to teach you somthing, so even be thankful for them.
