There are times in life which pose overwhelming challenges. Notice I did not mention the word, impossible. The hard times can seem long and arduous when we are in the moment. Think of the last time there were too many adult beverages consumed. You swore you would never again go through that experience while you were praying to the "porcelain god". As I am sure most people have experienced, there was most definitely a repeat. But this post isn't about doing the right thing, it's about the fact that you made it through to the other side of the tunnel. I know I have ran through some awful experiences where I thought, "This sucks!" I had no vision of what the "end in sight" would even look like when I was in the midst of the storm.
Last year I found a bit of advice from an instructor at a course I was attending. He opened the class by asking how we were doing. Knowing that we were at the most difficult time during our training , he made the remark that, "Life probably sucks right now. The bad news is that it's probably only going to get worse." He then presented us with a question I still remember, "How do you eat an elephant?" I thought this guy had been drinking his own punch for too long (aka, he is crazy). The truth is, this instructor found a gem in the sometimes hard surface of life. Just remember how to deal with that problem which seems as big as an elephant...
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time...
