You Can Make Yourself Crazy...If You Want To!

Let's see, I've got to pay the electric bill...check out the funny noise the car's making...talk to my wife about Susie's science project......have my driver's license renewed...write another "parable" for this booklet...make sure I'm registered for the next election...write Mom...wonder why the boss gave me that funny look today....

Whoa! There's just no way I can possibly do all that!

I feel a load of stress coming on, and deservedly so. Because it's true, we really can only do one thing at a time. I can go pay the electric bill.

Then with that small success I have the confidence to tackle the problem with the car, then have lights to write my next parable by, and so on and so on.

My point is obvious. When things begin to get us down, the best thing to do is face those things one at a time.

Prioritize...then actualize.
