I am still sick. I have returned to class but in the evening I feed my kids and fall asleep. My kitchen is a mess. I have fallen behind in my school work and if I think about it I start getting quite stressed as mid-terms are 3 weeks away. Already. How will I maintain my grade point average?
Obstacles, real or imagined, are a great challenge for all of us today. We live in a world that values our achievements, not our efforts. You are either a winner or a loser. If you can’t make it to the podium why should we remember your name? A harsh truth indeed. Our children are over glorified for each thing they do when are little but once they grow up we give them a whole new reality to function is. What is up with that? The whole don’t bite off more than you can chew is good advice but sometimes just putting gone foot in front of the other is even more pertinent. The only way to know for sure where we will end up is to stay exactly where you are. That doesn’t make for very interesting story as a general rule.
Mr. Steinbeck gives us his own trick that we can easily apply to many areas of our lives. Start by writing one page or taking one step or eat one bite at a time. Don’t worry about the end. Just begin.
Namaste!
