Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.

Situations that look sealed usually have some opening, even if it is not the one you were hoping for. The way out may be smaller, slower or less dignified than the rescue you wanted, and it is still a way out. When you cannot see it, that is often a fact about how narrowly fear makes you look rather than about the room.

Describe your current difficulty to somebody outside it and ask what options they can see. Write down every possibility, including the ones you ruled out as beneath you or too slow. Then pick the one you can start today.
