Take one day at a time

Take one day at a time. Don't rush thing. I often hear people say those two sentence. I agree with the sentence though. If you dig deeper on the sentence, it's like solving a puzzle. Our life is the full puzzle i which our daily life is the little piece of the puzzle that we put from time to time to complete the big picture of the puzzle. We must take life one day at a time. Therefore, we can say that each new day brings us an opportunity to do something. Here is what happens when you take a step you close the gap between where you want to be and where you are. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand the logic behind it.

  • If you are grieving take step towards letting go.
  • If you are wounded take a step towards healing.
  • If you are confused take a step towards clarity.
  • If you are frightened take a step towards your greater self.
  • If you are lost take a step towards the light and out of the shadows.

One step at a time one day at a time one moment at a time.

So what are the roadblocks that stop us taking the step? Firstly our ego we do not want to believe it could be as easy as a single step why because if we make it out to be harder than it has to be we can have a valid excuse for not doing it. Secondly we lack self belief we do not believe we can get through it we would rather sit in it and pretend we don't feel it than acknowledge it and start the long walk home. Thirdly we carry so many expectations about what things should look like we create an extra burden that weighs us down every time we think about moving forward.There is no right or wrong way to walk through life's challenges it is your own insecurities that tell you otherwise. What works for me may not work for you the only thing we share could be we both took it one step at a time. People verbally beat themselves up all the time with the I should:

  • I should be doing better
  • I should be here or there by now
  • I should be more controlled less emotional
  • I should be stronger braver wiser

Below is the song that I believe really suits the topic. It's a really inspiring song by Butch Walker called Take tomorron (one step at a time). Love this song. I often hear this song when I feel like I'm a bit down. This song is really great to lift up my spirit.

You Got Lost, For A While. You've Been Trying To Find A Smile. You Got Stood Up, Then You Fell Down, And When You Needed , There Was No One 'round.

You Loved The Previews And Hate The Movie.You Scream At The Screen, "something Move Me!"Before You Start To Fade Away.

Give Me All Your Fear, Throw It All Away .And Think About The Good Things, No Matter What They Say, We'll Take Tomorrow Baby, Yeah, One Day At A Time.

You Just Stare Into Space, You Found Love But It Got Erased, You're On The Road With All The Stoplights, And You're Too Afraid To Turn The Wrong From Right. You Ate Your Soul And It Made Ya Fat, Starve Yourself From Everything Else That Makes You Completely Full.

So Give Me All Your Fear, Throw It All Away. Think About The Good Things, No Matter What They Say. We'll Take Tomorrow Baby, Yeah, One Day At A Time.

So You Run, So You Hide, And You Watched As They Die, They All Fell, You Could Fall Too, Or You Could Sew Your Wings And Try To Fly Right Through.

Give Me All Your Fear, Throw It All Away. Think About The Good Things, No Matter What They Say. We'll Take Tomorrow Baby, Yeah, One Day At A Time.One Day At A Time.
