Far too many of us are spending too much time trying to mop up mess in our lives, trying to mop up things that are flooding over and causing chaos and ruin and difficulty in our experiences. And we mop and we mop, and we mop, and we wonder why the mess isn\u2019t going anywhere. It\u2019s not because we\u2019re not trying, it\u2019s not because we\u2019re not working hard, it\u2019s just that we haven\u2019t gotten to the root of the problem. No matter how much mopping you do, if the stopper is still in the sink, you haven\u2019t changed your situation.
