get to the cause

Too many times in life we only deal with the symptoms.  Our kids misbehave and all we see is the outward action.  We blow up in anger on somebody and don't really know why.  We keep coughing, so we take a cough drop.  Maybe we have allowed ourselves to get overweight, so we go on a 3 day diet.  All this to say, we usually only deal with the symptoms and never the cause.  The cause is what produces the symptoms.  If we deal with the root cause, the symptoms will go away.  What are your symptoms and what is the root cause that produce those symptoms?  Deal with your root cause and your symptoms will change.
