There are times we might face a deadline with something we’re working on. It doesn’t happen all the time and when it does there may be an added measure of intensity and focus on the project in an effort to comply with the required parameters set forth. If we have all the information we need and are able to plan effectively, often we will meet the deadline. But if there are surprise developments that block our way forward, they may uncontrollably delay our progress. If the goal is very important to our personal or professional growth, any complication may increase our stress level as we try to proceed. When there is much to do and time is short that stress may become quite intense as we try to push ahead. If the situation becomes confusing or there are a lot of factors in play, we may feel overwhelmed and unable to focus clearly on what we should do next. Time constraints add an additional dimension of pressure to any task we want to complete. When there is a lot going on and much to accomplish we can find our way through more easily by stepping back for a moment and looking at the big picture. It’s easy to get caught up in one detail and lose track of how far we’ve already come. When we see everything objectively we can more clearly identify what we must do next and see the way forward. We are capable of managing many complex things and can do anything we desire. There isn’t anything we can’t accomplish if we keep moving forward. Our abilities are limitless and we have everything necessary to succeed.
Every story has many moving parts and interpretations. If we are given all the information we need at the beginning of any task we have a better chance of completing it. But often we only get some of the facts and additional information comes forward as we move along. Although we may be grateful for the new details as they arise, they may cause us to change our direction completely which will cost additional time. The best we can do is move forward with the information we have and when new developments arise do our best to modify our course as effectively as possible.
Nothing ever goes the way we think it will. There will always be surprise developments or complications we didn’t plan for. There are countless ways things that can go awry and when we encounter them we may struggle to discern what to do next. There isn’t a destination we can’t reach. We may need to revise and regroup, sometimes more than once, but with determination we can find the way forward. There isn’t a goal too difficult to reach. We can do anything we set out to do, be confident of success, and accomplish what is needed to achieve it.
Today if you’re under time pressure to complete a task and it seems impossible to reach, step back for a moment and look at how far you’ve come already. The goal is only steps away. Plan your way forward and keep your eyes on the destination. You are strong and capable, and nothing is beyond your grasp. Everything you desire is possible and you will reach it.
