It is quite difficult to lose hope on such days and feel dismayed. I have gone through many such days in the past and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll encounter a few or maybe more of such days in the future too because that\u2019s how life is. It isn\u2019t a bed of roses- it is tough but that doesn\u2019t mean you should stop living and let yourself drown in worries.\n\nTo let yourself move on and to fight each obstacle and each difficult day,<br> focus on living one day at a time and doing your best every day. I came across this amazing quote by H. Jackson Brown,<br> Jr. when I was having a hard day and felt I didn\u2019t accomplish much that day,<br> and it instantly gave me hope for the next day.\n\n<center>![hjacksonbrownjr382774.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcEskhxfGGCbWR5KbkMu27zqxx7RLdiPruX3psAMXq3eN\/hjacksonbrownjr382774.jpg)\n[image credits (https:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/topics\/topic_inspirational.html)<\/center>\n\nOften when you see a task as a whole,<br> it overwhelms you because when something is huge,<br> it is likely to scare you. And when something overwhelms you,<br> your spirits to pursue it are likely to dampen. If you let your goal or whatever that you want to do overwhelm you,<br> chances are you\u2019ll stay stuck and won\u2019t move on. Before you realize,<br> you\u2019ll be swamped by negative thoughts and depression and will find yourself being paralyzed by your fears.\n\nOf course,<br> you don\u2019t want that for yourself right! To make sure you don\u2019t stay stuck,<br> focus on one day,<br> one hour and one minute at a time and try to give your best at whatever it is that you are doing. I remember a lecture by Tony Robbins wherein he advised his listeners to break their goal into a million bite sized pieces so it stopped overwhelming them. You see,<br> when something huge is broken into numerous pieces,<br> it stops being frightening and when you look at one tiny piece individually,<br> it seems quite ordinary to you. That\u2019s the same with your goal. By splitting it open into a million pieces,<br> you eliminate the element of \u2018overwhelm\u2019 from it and then when you look at the individual steps,<br> they seem quite simple and doable to you.\n\n\nWhile working on all those steps,<br> remember to take one thing,<br> one task and one day at a time. Yes,<br> being goal oriented is important but focusing and becoming involved in the process that takes you to your goal is even more important because when you enjoy the process,<br> even setbacks don\u2019t scare you. Moreover,<br> when you focus on giving your best shot every day,<br> you automatically improve your productivity and do the groundwork for the next day.\n\nI am going to put my son in school and his tuition fee is quite huge. Since I\u2019m managing about 90% of my household expenses,<br> this new endeavor and responsibility is scaring me but I have decided to take one day at a time and give my best shot daily. Yes,<br> it means I\u2019ll have to work more every day but I\u2019m ready to do that and instead of worrying myself relentlessly on how I\u2019ll pay his fees,<br> I\u2019m focusing on how to make the best of this moment,<br> this hour and day. Do try this yourself and see how it works for you.\n***\n<br>\n**I request you to please upvote this and go through my other posts too. Thank you for spending time here.
