Do you feel tested by problems?
I've had tough problems that not only test my abilities but also my willingness to solve them. Still, solving them is the best solution.
Problems have a way of testing our vision and values.
They shine a light on our willingness to stick to our values no matter what, even if it would "make the problem go away" to cut some corners or put a standard on hold. But you can't let values slide - that's why they're values. You can't cut corners on what's right.
Stand up to that problem. Analyze it in fine detail. Find the solution that falls within your vision and values, with no compromise.
Because if we let the latest problem get the best of our values, there's no end to that temptation.
