We can't do everything always, but we can do something now

"Any task in life is easier if we approach it with the one at a time attitude. ... To cite a whimsical saying; 'If you chase two rabbits, both of them will escape.' No one is adequate to do everything all at once. We have to select what is important, what is possible, and begin where we are, with what we have. And if we begin and if we keep going, the weight, the worry, the doubt, the depression will begin to lift .... We can't do everything always, but we can do something now, and doing something will help to lift the weight and lessen the worry, 'The beginning,' said Plato, 'is the most important part.'" Richard L. Evans

  1. I love this. In a way this has been my mantra for 2010 - Something is always better than nothing. You may not be able to do it all but sooner or later even inches of progress will become miles. Thanks for sharing! Amanda Casey
