Doing what needs to be done to resolve a situation can be difficult and unpleasant. However, doing it as soon as possible allows you to face the challenges on your own terms. If you wait to deal with something, it just augments and becomes harder to fix, so don't put it off until later because it will only delay your options and becomes unmanageable. In order to rise above the occasion means getting a grip on the situation and get jump started to fix a pending issue by taking the initiative to work on a viable solution as quickly as possible.
