PANIC:
~
If a swimmer was crossing a great lake, then suddenly focused too
heavily on the distance remaining, he might start to flounder and go
under – not because he couldn't swim, but because he became
overwhelmed by panic.
Panic, not the task, is the enemy.
Many of us have moments when we feel crowded and overwhelmed.
We may be facing a task at work, an improvement in ourselves, or
change in our family life.
For a moment, it is helpful to look forward and envision the project.
It is normal, when we look ahead at what needs to be done, to have
moments of panic. Feel the fear, then let it go. If we have envisioned
the goal, it will be ours. We do not have to do everything today, or at
once.
Focus on today. All we need to do to reach our goal is to focus on
what presents itself naturally, and in an orderly way, to us today.
We shall be empowered to accomplish, peacefully, what we need to
get where we want to be tomorrow.
Panic will stop this process. Trust and guided action will further it.
We can get back on track by treading water until we regain our
composure. Once we feel peaceful, we can begin swimming again,
with confidence. Keep the focus simple, on one stroke, one
movement at a time.
