Sometimes, we get worried when things do not go our way. We wish everything was fine, but sometimes we just have to accept the ugly reality. However, in such cases, you should never despair but rather focus on what you can do. Thinking about the whole situation looks too much to handle and you might seem incapable of solving the problem.
There is only one thing to do. Start today by focusing not on the big issue but on the small area that you can focus on and do something about. You might not fix the whole issue in a day but at least you are not where you were yesterday.
Yesterday’s fresh bread is today’s stale bread.
Even if you have a valid excuse for not starting today, the same excuse would sound really dumb after a while. So all you have to do is to keep taking baby steps every day. Imagine the progress you would have recorded this time next year.
It is easy to sit and complain, feeling victimized about what is happening around us. But when you begin to take charge of some of the little things, it gets better with time.
Now is always the best time to start something. No one knows tomorrow. All you need is start something. The hardest part is to do something no matter how small every day towards becoming that person you want to become.
In becoming that person you want to become, you would need to not only complain but also fix the problem. Start small.
Thanks and God bless.
