Some are pebbles we can simply walk over, and there are boulders we must climb. As you already know, if you don`t walk over the pebbles and climb over the boulders, you`ll never finish what you started. You`ll never get to the end of the road, and that would be a shame. So today, we will talk about these obstacles. Someone stares at you while you`re walking down the street. What is that? It`s a pebble, but you make it a boulder! Your boss disagrees with the way you`re doing something in the office, and he wants it changed. What is that? It`s a pebble, but you make it a boulder! You had one bite of pizza that a friend insisted you try. It was just one bite – not a slice, not a whole pizza, just a bite from someone else`s slice of pizza. What is that? It`s a pebble, but you make it a boulder! One of your kids is tired and a little ornery and says something sassy to you. What is that? It`s a pebble, but you make it a boulder! Many of you have a tendency to make a mountain out of a molehill, a boulder out of a pebble. Little things happen in your life as they happen in all our lives. Someone says something or there is a small challenge you must face, and instead of forgetting it or fixing it, you keep thinking about it over and over again for days, months, years, decades. When you think of it, you get angry, sad, hurt, and depressed, and many times you turn to food and mindlessly eat and continue to think the thoughts that keep disturbing you. If I am describing you, you gotta quit doing this to yourself. The next time something happens to you or someone says something to you or stares at you, ask yourself, "Is this a pebble or a boulder?" The majority of times, it will be a pebble, and it's up to you to make sure that pebble doesn`t grow and become another reason why you can`t reach your goals – not just your weight loss goals, but all your goals. Please have a positive attitude today and know your cheerleader, me, is rooting for you. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
