Thank you…

for believing in me when I struggle to believe in myself.

I am grateful that I have people I can reach out to, friends who would listen, and family who will constantly support me through all my tribulations. I cannot really ask for more.

There are moments when my thoughts and dreams turns into a mundane path causing me to lose sight of why I ended up on this path to begin with. I have travelled so far, to a point of fear and a sense of lost. I want to find an escape route home (~~now~~) but… I can’t. I can’t succumb to my own fears and despite the sense of urgency, I know that I need to keep going because I will (not might) end up at the destination.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
