What are problems?

A problem can be broadly defined as anything that keeps us from our mentally projected desired result. There are several ways issues can manifest themselves. There are things that we do not know; things that we know that we don’t know; things that we don’t know that we know; and there are things that we know. What we do not know can derail our efforts. However, we can only do something about what we know. A problem can arise when we do not address what we know that we should. Those problems only grow stronger the longer that we are in denial.
