A weird thought popped into my head while hanging out with my daughters at the park this morning: I wondered how many breakfasts and lunches I've prepared for them over the years, and the number seemed outrageous.
If my future self (of today) would've informed my past version (of 9 years ago, heavier and with a bit more hair) that I'd have to prepare such a volume of meals, my past self would've certainly mumbled 'Uh, you're joking; that's impossible!'
It's really easy to become overwhelmed by the prospect of any challenge in life, big or small. When I'm not sure I can handle a particular chore, I put it aside until I feel mentally prepared to tackle it; once it's accomplished, I usually wonder why I considered it such a big deal in the first place. I guess the unknown of dealling with such challenges intimidates me, since I'm uncertain of (and probably underestimate) my mental and physical limits.
I've gotta remember that 'impossible' is only a word, and a sentiment that cripples and holds me back. I can accomplish what I put my mind to, including whatever the future throws at me!
hi dad!!
ReplyDeleteJust think of it this way; The word impossible does not exsist!
It may be hard, but just try!
Plus it is impossible that you can't think about it that way, because the word impossible does not exsite!
It is OK, because I don't even understand what I am saying, so if you don't understand, it is totally fine because I don't either!
Your insane daughter,
SarahXXX
You're so weird Sarah, and je t'aime!
