Keep Moving

I am reading Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and the author says, "I believe that if something is troubling you, simply start from where you are and take the action necessary to change it."

Aaaahhhh......a woman after my own heart. I have to admit, as my friends will surely attest, I am not one to sit around complaining, or to listen to it. I do not want to spend days, weeks and months figuring out why something is happening because by the time I figure it out I probably could have fixed it.

Yes, we all need to "talk things out". Sometimes we need to vent, sometimes we need to think out loud, and sometimes we need to ask "why", just don't get stuck there. Keep moving.

It's kind of like driving in snow. If you just keep moving, no matter how slowly, you will generally be okay. But stopping can get you stuck and that means more work (digging, pushing, rocking), some extra tools (shovels, kitty litter & tow trucks) and frozen fingers. Really it's easier to just keep moving.
