There is no vice which lacks a defense, none that at the outset isn’t modest and easily intervened—but after this the trouble spreads widely. If you allow it to get started you won’t be able to control when it stops.
Seneca, Moral Letters
When problems start, they are small. A lot of people look at these small problems and say some version of “It’ll be okay.”
How? How will it be okay if we don’t make it okay?
I get it: we don’t want to spend our energy dealing with something if we don’t have to. Humans are nothing if not efficient creatures. We are not going to expend anymore energy than required, but we’re fooling ourselves if we think we can sit back and watch as life gets less complicated. You know what they say about the way things tend to happen…
Better to spend a little bit of energy (and, usually, money) now at the beginning than a lot later on.
