I am recently widowed and doing the first of one of those one degree actions can seem impossible and at first it is. But slowly the shock of the gaping wound cleats and the appalling grief starts. This is when to find a one degree step. Thank you Marc and Angel for the comfort and support your teaching give.

I live with these frequent small adjustments as you describe and I’m a senior. Seems these adjustments go on for life. Always learning and improving.

I feel like my entire life is coming down around my ears and yet I paralyze myself. One tiny degree change might be choosing to go to the gym and swim laps rather than veg in front of the TV. Then do it again the next day. I really needed to hear that.

Your words strongly echo an awareness phrase I have always thought of when I see a difficult or seemingly impossible task ahead: Attributed to Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: “The longest journey begins with a single step.” Thanks for the deep and meaningful advice for all of us!

It’s perfect. I say this even before I have my coffee. Thank you. I look forward to more of your wisdom.

Recognizing the things I cannot control and letting ‘go’ as best I can.
Caregiving for both of my Parents, whom I adore (Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother) and their eventual deaths as been overwhelming in every way. Emotionally and financially. God has never let me down.
Including giving you the inspiration for this essay and making te essay available to me just when I need it. Thank you.

I am a senior myself and I have wanted to do what you you have done, but so afraid of starting over at my age like you, hopefully I’ll one day be able to. But I’m running out of time, I just want to run away and start over of what time I do have left. Thank you for letting know it can be possible

Your posts are uniformly excellent but this one beats them all. Thank you.

There are many things out of my control that are affecting my wife and I. Your advice makes so much sense. She and I need to stop trying to change what we can’t and take those steps where we can. We may not be able to change somethings but we can control how we respond to it. Thank you for the essay.

And just like the book, every morning your emails seem to just open to what I need at that moment. Thank you so much for the email linking to this post today. I have been struggling a little lately and know that I can make small one degree changes and this reminded me of that.

Thanks
Barb

I love all your inspirational articles. Every bit of advice is so doable. The one small step at a time or small changes etc, are such common sense advice especially when I feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. I simply say ” I will just do a task for 10 minutes and then stop if I want to.” But of course I never do and a job gets done.
My one small step this week is to restrict recreational reading and TV to 2 hours a day max.

I don’t know you but know how your situation feels.
My husband and I had business and got hit with no after another..
eg…global downturn…..raised interest rates…staff issues..
family problems….i wish we had is website to read at the time..
but in any case…we came through it by sheer determination and lots of prayer… we so hope that your life will turn around and be good for you again.

How brave of you. It’s inspiring to hear and hopefully I will be doing the same later this year. It is definitely a testing course to take

You’ve added another great Credo to my daily recitations: “Significant progress comes gradually with time and consistency. It’s all about taking one tiny positive step at a time, and staying the course.”

I relate to MaryAnn, one of the commenters above. I cherish my livelihood as a music services provider and instructor, but I LONG to also finally bring to reality a self-publishing endeavor for growing musicians. Tight schedule, tight pocket & tight expectations make it feel daunting, but you & Marc have helped me to see that conscious choice of faith and small, fundamental steps can TURN THAT AROUND! Thanks again!
