“A problem or difficulty is only imposing when you sit around doing nothing about it, but when you stand up to it, its stature will be laughable.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 34
In other words
A problem can appear largest while nothing is being done. From a still position, all of its weight is visible while none of our own ability has entered the struggle.
Action changes that balance. The first decision may expose a cause, remove one obstacle, or simply prove that the situation can be touched. The problem is no longer the only force at work.
Standing up does not make every difficulty small or guarantee a quick victory. It reveals the difference between the problem as feared and the problem as met. Even a strong challenge loses some of its power once thought, skill, and movement begin working against it.
