You say it's all too much?
Instead of banging your head against a wall of frustration and despair, try this approach, Go for a walk in the woods. A mental walk.
Take time to smell the fragrance, to enjoy the stillness. Watch the squirrels frolic. Listen to the birds sing. And look up at the size of those trees. Why, some of them grow under the worst possible conditions—in poor soil or crowded by a rock. Yet they defiantly shoot upward.
Why can't we, similarly, break through the rocks and barren soil of adverse circumstances? Why can't we—no matter what—keep on growing and growing and growing in wisdom, understanding, and spiritual accomplishment? What is it that would hold us back, limit our usefulness, curtail our momentum?
