I first heard this from a buddy of mine, Billy Ray. The answer is, one bite at a time. I always liked this because it conveys a message that you can accomplish anything if you’re determined and patient.
In today’s world, people are not patient. Everybody wants instant change and instant reward. Thank you, Internet. What we are is a nation of whiners. Some people reminisce about the good times when they were young, the best time ever. Things change over time and some changes are good others not so much. The world is constantly changing, so get used to it. Without change we would still be living in the prehistoric age.
There are others that feel like they have been dealt a bad hand in life. They say choices are limited because they’re poor, or black or uneducated. The list is long. There’s a simple explanation, life is not fair, but it’s what you make of it. The trials and tribulations of our ancestors are history. We can’t change it, but we can learn from it. Their sufferings are not our scars and their achievements are not our successes. We make choices that determine our place in life. There are many people who have achieved great things even though they struggled in life. Without struggle, the rewards would less appreciated.
Your choices define your life. Use the past to build a strong future for yourself. Create your own history with the choices you make. Instead of whining, try overcoming your problems . . .one bite at a time. “Just Saying . . .”
