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.
