I Can’t Do Everything Today

“I can’t do everything today, but I can take one small step.”

Often times we get caught up by what we want things to be like or what we think things should be like that we get so overwhelmed that we just throw in the towel. It’s easy to get discouraged when looking ahead at the long journey we have before us to reach our goals.

You might be thinking about changing careers and would need to go back to school first. Or maybe you want to start a family but you aren’t sure about how you are going to handle all the ways a baby will change your life. Maybe you feel like you feel like you and your partner are constantly fighting and will never enjoy each other’s company again. Whatever it might be, for some of us, this leaves us drowning in a sea of our own thoughts and fears until we just get so tired of swimming that we give up on that dream.

But there is a way to keep us from drowning and turn that dream into a goal. We need to know what we want and take small steps each day in our life that move us closer to our goal. This might mean looking into financial aid for school, talking to family and friends that already have a baby, or doing things with your partner that are fun and bring back that spark. Whatever it is, you have to decide to choose to live according to your goal and then take small steps each day that move you closer.
