The best way to tackle something that’s on your mind or in your way is ‘head on’.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t use any tact or agility. You don’t have to ‘smash’ it. (But you can!)
What it means is that you need to move towards whatever it is that scares you, without delay.
The longer you wait, the bigger the obstacle gets.
The farther away you move, the farther you’ll have to travel back forwards anyway.
