Adjust to Reality

Someone once said once when facts don't fit our preconceptions, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions. An optimum adjustment to reality can be made only if we perceive reality correctly. Reality consists of hard facts, which exist whether we like them or not. Ignoring facts, for whatever reason, is going to result in problems. We might not like the fact that the economy is in a recession, our job is in jeopardy, or someone we love has a chemical problem. However, ignoring these facts is just another word for denial, the hallmark of addiction.
