Sometimes the hard things seem insurmountable because we are overwhelmed with the task in front of us. Can we break it down into more manageable pieces? Inch by inch it’s a cinch. Is this something I can commit to 20 minutes a day? 2 hours a week? What are the rewards if I do it? What are the consequences if I don’t do it or put it off too long? Short term and long term. Is this the right or honorable thing to do? Am I hurting someone else by not doing it? Am I hurting myself by not doing it? If someone I love came to me with the same dilemma, what advice would I give them. If all else fails, give it the thought and consideration it deserves and sleep on it before you go with a hard “no”.
