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.
