I was sorting through a box of nuts and bolts one day, looking for the right size nut to fit on my bicycle's back tire.  I knew exactly what nut I needed, and exactly which nut would fix my bicycle.  I just needed to find the right size.  Without thinking, I would pick up a nut, look at it, and once I knew that nut wouldn't fit, I would toss it back into the box.  After doing this about 10 times, I realized that I was picking up a few of the same nuts that I already picked up before.  I was wasting my time by picking up the same nuts that I knew would not fit my bicycle.

So, I wised up and started placing the unwanted nuts outside of the box.  Soon, I found the nut I was looking for.  It was then that I realized how symbolic that is to life's problems and situations.  If you continue to toss your problems back into your life, you will continue to run into those same problems again.  It's only when you face your problems one by one, is when the solutions for your life will become more clear
