• Start Small

  Sometimes I get overwhelmed and discouraged.  Fear of the unknown envelops me and I want to cry.  Not cry as in tears, but cry to be heard.  So others can come and tell me nice things so I can feel good about myself.

  I have one friend that just doesn't allow me any moment of such comfort.  She simply responds "start small."  I can not hate her because the advice is perfect in any moment of hardship.  We must start small.  Start tackling the small things we can tackle  and then the bigger things will come.

  My impatience and immaturity is definitely showing.  I need to swallow the advice I so freely give.  Anything great that is worth getting never came easy.  It isn't how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up.  Its when you get up do you still have the will to fight and hit life as hard as it just hit you.  Rocky was on to something.  Maybe that is why we all love those movies so much, where the person fails so many times and then eventually breaks through. 

  We all want it for ourselves.  Vicariously we see their victories as our own, because along the way some of us got knocked down so hard that all we can do is to cheer on others on the rise.  That is our idea of staying in the fight.  I guess if enough people make it, that may inspire some of us to give it another shot.  There is hope.

  Breaking through.... never hurt so ... GOOD!
