Your problem isn't your problem. Your problem is how you look at your problem.
Is your question, Why did This Happen To Me?
Or, is your question: How Can I easily and rapidly ameliorate and dissolve away the issue?
If your foot is stuck in a bucket, your problem probably isn't as much you won't be able to compete in the 5K race you're scheduled for tomorrow, as much as it's the bucket totally clashes with the Manolo Blahnik shoes you just bought.
Your problem probably isn't the fact that you have ants infesting your cabinet, but more like there's not enough for the cockroaches behind the fridge.
Things aren't as bad as you might think, as long as you don't let the little things bug you.
