“Life is the culmination of all the little decisions we make.  When you break everything down to its smallest components you’ll see minutes are just seconds, mountains are just rocks,” Loren Ridinger.  When we look back on our lives including (or perhaps especially) including those moments we never thought we’d survive, we’ve made it through all of them. I’m not talking about the specific outcome because I am one of the first to admit that not everything has turned out how I thought it would.  I am talking about the statistical truth that we have survived and thrived in the face of anything we thought we couldn’t.  The mind is an amazing thing and it can talk us into anything.  From how small we feel to the boldest leaps we can take, that all starts in our mind.  When we look at where we are at in this moment, we have to accept this is the result of every decision we have ever made.  All we have done has brought us right where we are.  We didn’t eat the entire whale, it was one bite at a time. So when we get overwhelmed and feel like there is so much on our plate, more than we can handle, just remember that, at its core, any problem is solvable.  Nothing is as big a deal as we make it so when we see the rocks, kick them aside before we create the mountain. Anything is achievable when broken down to its smallest components just like we can get anywhere we want to go one step at a time.  If we feel lost and aren’t certain about what to do next, just remember, if we got here with uncertainty, imagine what can happen when we listen to what we KNOW to be true, and know we can’t go wrong.  So just take one step and then the next.  It will all make sense.
