Feeling The Weight Of Life
Take It One Day At A Time
There are days you wake up, and it already feels wrong.
Take it One Day at a time.
You have a Pain.
The Sun Doesn't Seem as Bright.
Life Feels Different, and Not in a Good Way.
Take it One Day at a time.
You've got a Lot to do.
It Feels like There's No Time.
There are 24 Hours for All, yet it "Feels" Not Enough.
Take it One Day at a time.
There's so Much to Do.
It is Important, Yes, and also Meaningful.
Yet, in the Moment, it does Not Fill your Soul.
Take it One Day at a time.
You want to Shine Bright.
You want So Badly to make an Impact.
But Right Now, Nothing Feels like it could Ever Do So.
Take it One Day at a time.
You Change Pace.
Take some Time for Yourself, maybe Entertainment.
It is Fun, Sure, yet here you sit Feeling No Change Occur.
Take it One Day at a time.
There is No Motivation.
But there is Still A Lot of Work To Do.
You Know You may be Unable to Go All Out.
Take it One Day at a time.
You sit down.
Go forth and Do What You're Able.
It might Feel Small, Quaint, but You Move Forward.
Take it One Day at a time.
Who are You?
Why Should You be So Bold?
Doubt Fills Your Mind, Your Soul, Your Heart.
Take it One Day at a time.
Others Care Not.
If You Falter Today, So What?
They are So Focused on Their Problems to Notice.
Take it One Day at a time.
It is True.
Yet the Truth is often Larger.
In Life, there are Larger and Smaller Truths.
Take it One Day at a time.
They May Not Care.
They May be Focused on their Challenges.
Yet, that is Why You Move Forward Anyways, Take a Step.
Take it One Day at a time.
Your Mind may jump.
One Week, One Month, One Year, More.
But it is too Much, too Great to Focus on Right Now.
Take it One Day at a time.
The Weight is Heavy.
The Billions who Struggle.
Each Day another Boulder Added to the Pain.
Take it One Day at a time.
It's too Much.
You'll Break Yourself Trying.
If you go All In, All People, All Weight, You'll be Crushed.
Take it One Day at a time.
This is Not the Task.
If you Break Now, It will be too Soon.
You will Not Change the World in a Single Day.
Take it One Day at a time.
Change is Exponential.
A Singular Moment Alone is Not Enough.
But Singular Moments Combined, One Hundred, Thousand, More.
Take it One Day at a time.
Strength is Exponential.
Each of these Moments Combine.
One Plus One is Three, and Three plus Three is More.
Take it One Day at a time.
Today may Feel Small.
Today may Feel like it is Little.
But though you Focus on Today, that is Not the Power.
Take it One Day at a time.
Power comes Later.
As this One Day is added to Others.
Focus on what You are Able, Here and Today.
Take it One Day at a time.
Today feels Underwhelming.
Tomorrow may end up Feeling the Same.
Yet Each of these Becomes Greater Together.
Take it One Day at a time.
Who Will Hear?
You Do Not Know Yet.
Underwhelming for You may be Everything for Another.
Take it One Day at a time.
Little People we may be.
Little Moments may be All We Have.
But Combined we become Unstoppable Forces.
Take it One Day at a time.
We are More.
When we Each Add One Day.
Mountains Move, and Darkness is Cast Out.
Take it One Day at a time.
Today is Small.
Tomorrow may be Too.
But that is All That is Required of You.
Take it One Day at a time.

The Terrifying Psychology That Can Turn Anyone Into a Monster (Including You)
What do you think is your quiet thought when you hear something really awful, a story of cruelty, or a dreadful injustice? It is most likely to be something such as, "I would never do that." We reassure ourselves that monsters are of another breed. They are the bad men, the men with a crooked soul, the men with something wrong in their hearts.

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.

"Little People we may be. Little Moments may be All We Have. But Combined we become Unstoppable Forces." - I love that!
This has a rhythm of a powerful poem, Cody. Take it all in, one day at a time, and cherish your grandfather’s memories.
The repetition of "Take it one day at a time" made this seem like both a poem and a mantra. It was extremely powerful!
Love the repetition of the essence, Cody. And will bear it in mind.
