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.
