One Seed at a Time...

So often in today's busy life, we find all sorts excuses as to why we can not use the talents and skills that Hashem has given us. We get caught up in all manner of activities and allow the stress to get the better of us.

As an occupational therapist, I often train stress management skills. One of the poems I love to share is the one listed below. May it give you much strength and realise everything can be done, slowly, steadily by just persevering with whatever we do.

One seed at a time
- and the garden grows.
One drop at a time
- and the river flows.

One word at a time
- and the book is read.
One stroke at a time
- and the painting is spread.

One chip at a time
- and the statue's unveiled.
One step at a time
- and the mountain is scaled.

One thing at a time
- and that done well
Is the only sure way
to succeed and excel.

You can write, you can paint,

You can sculpt or climb.
You can do it by taking
One step at a time.
