I wanted to add something I read today.
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 its not a problem. If I hold it for an hour ill 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 didnt 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 that 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 pwaralyzed- incapable of doing anything.”
Keep climbing, its time to give it all up no matter how much strength and courage it takes. Youll only become better from it. Try not to let your fear weigh you down and not allow you to do the right thing.
