One step at a time

As clouds march behind the larger one ahead, I think about one step at a time being easier instead When dealing with life's big changing events, it can lead to being tired, and also stressed I find trying to do a piece at a time is helpful and best Somehow it makes things easier to fall into place A big picture all at once can be overwhelming to face I finish a task, take a break and tell myself I'm getting there There's a lot at stake, worth the focus, on one thing, not everywhere It can become easier, than one would expect it to be Because fearful anticipation blocks the ability to see So I give it a try, it is working, each day at a time I face Later I'll look back, at accomplishments from my destined place Heidi Sands 4/18/24 (C)opyright

A meaningful depiction, my friend. Your advice resonates with me: When dealing with life's big changing events, it can lead to being tired, and also stressed I find trying to do a piece at a time is helpful and best--so true and well said, Heidi.

Thank you Vijay. Yes. I have the tendency to take on too much at once. One step at a time is much less stressful . I appreciate your comment on this. I hope you have a nice day :)

Great advice for whatever the task is -- and whenever too. I don't care is someone is 20 or 90, one step at a time is best... My motto as an ESL teacher used to be: 'Start with one word... Finish with a chalkboard full of them.' ~ Gershon

A sweet, constructive attitude is shown in this poem. I liked the message of taking one step at a time. Trying to accomplish too much leads to stress.

wise words that reflect a level of patience and faith in taking one step at a time. True, looking at an entire task can be overwhelming...I've learned to take small bites and eventually the task is accomplished. Enjoyed reading your word today. Have a splendid evening, hugs, Sara
