The best way to cross the river

Last night when I arrived home, I had a huge list of things I needed to do. Almost overwhelming. And I was tired.

Fortunately I remembered one of my favourite Indian sayings “The best way to cross the river is to cross the river”. Don’t search up and down looking for the best place to cross. So rather than hum and haw about what to do first, I just started doing things that needed doing. One at a time. By the time it was time for bed, many (but not all) of the things that needed doing were done. And of course I felt more satisfaction for having done what I did.
