Dragons Start Small

Dragons start small

Jordan Peterson often speaks about our problems as dragons. They symbolize all of the human fears in the form of a living being. When a dragon is born (a problem is spawned), it always starts small. If we choose to look away, it will continue to grow in the absence of our attention until one day; it is enormous. This is how I think about the undesirable traits that I know my parents have passed to me. So I try to face these problems quickly, while they are in their infant stages. This way, they do not have time to gain strength that could ultimately overwhelm me.
