Potholes in Life

Have you ever stopped to think about potholes? I think about them every morning as I am driving to work. I live about 35 minutes away from my job in a neighboring county, so there is a lot of road to cover every day.
No matter how many times a pothole is patched, it comes back. All it really takes is a little bad weather, and that nasty hole is back in the road just waiting to possibly do some damage to your car. Unless, of course, the road department takes the time to actually resurface the road in that area. Patching can be done in a few minutes by a guy with a shovel and some loose asphalt. Resurfacing takes a crew of men/equipment and a decent bit of time.
My point in this “pothole 411” is that we all have some sort of pot holes in our lives at one time or another. When you get a rough patch in life, are you just going to temporarily smooth it over with a quick fix and risk serious damage with the next heavy rain or are you going to invest the time and effort into correct the underlying cause of the problem?
