One thing at a time...

Dear America,

For the past couple of months I have felt as though the walls are closing in all around me! For the past four years, I have been taking college courses while working full-time and it has been a bit of a pain. I wouldn't be the first to say that I'm a perfectionist, so I've found myself pushing hard in two areas of my life while trying to salvage some sense of a social life at the same time. It hasn't been easy, and my journey to a degree is far from over, so there have been some rough patches.

As a fan of the Daoist philosophy, I have always appreciated the phrase to "be like water," especially when things get the better of me. Taking things one step at a time can really help, and that's exactly what I do when things get too bad. Man can only do so many things at a time, so prioritize and keep focused.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Do you bring in help? Some people withdraw. There's no perfect answer, I imagine. Sometimes just talking about it can help put things in perspective. I hope this day finds you ready to beat back the closing walls. We all have much to do.

Sincerely,
Calhoun
