BREATHING DEEPLY

LIFE CAN BE VERY ANXIOUS AND COMES TO YOU SO QUICKLY AT TIMES
THAT IT IS REALLY HARD TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS HAPPENING.
IT IS THEN THAT WE WANT TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND LET IT OUT SLOWLY.

SETTLE DOWN TO WHERE YOU HAVE GOOD FOOTING AND
LOOK AT THINGS FROM THE BOTTOM UP.
THE PATHS WE’RE SEEKING WILL BE EASIER TO FIND
WHEN THE VIEW IS NOT CLUTTERED BY THE TOP DOWN GAZE.

ONCE WE KNOW THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO AND
THE ROADS WE WANT TO TAKE, WE CAN PLAN SO THAT
OUR MISSION IS ACHIEVABLE IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR US.

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND THE WAY WE DO THINGS WILL BE TOO.
WE EACH GET THE NEW DAY AND TO NAVIGATE THROUGH IT SUCCESSFULLY
TAKES A FAIR AMOUNT OF COURAGE.

WAITING TO START, PUTTING IT OFF, OR
CANCELLING A PLAN ALTOGETHER JUST WON’T DO.
WE NEED TO START AND THEN DO AS WELL AS WE CAN.

THAT WILL BE THE MEASURE, NOT IF YOU DID IT
FASTER OR BETTER THEN SOMEONE ELSE, BUT
THAT YOU OPERATED UP TO YOUR HIGHEST STANDARDS.

DOING AS WELL AS YOU CAN ON A REGULAR BASIS
IS AN UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE. WE SHOULD BELIEVE IN
SELF RELIANCE AND ADHERE TO THE OLD “CAN DO” SPIRIT.

WE MUST BE OPPORTUNISTIC. WE ARE NOT VICTIMS AND
WE ARE NOT HELPLESS.

WHEN WE BELIEVE IN OURSELVES AND ARE WILLING TO
TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS WE CAN FIX
ANY CIRCUMSTANCE INCLUDING OUR OWN.

WE MUST STAY CALM, AVOID STRESS AND STAY WITH
OUR BASIC FUNDAMENTALS.

EACH DAY IS UNIQUE AND BRINGS WITH IT,
IT’S OWN PECULIARITIES AND WE MUST BE
THE CONSTANT FORCE WHICH KEEPS US GOING FORWARD.

BREATHING IS GOOD. TAKE A DEEP BREATH MY FRIEND
AND BEGIN THE JOURNEY, STEP BY STEP,
DAY BY DAY AND MOUNTAIN BY MOUNTAIN.
