Simple quote that is helping me

Hi,

Just wanted to share a quote I came across recently that has been helping me get through feelings of being overwhelmed by what I feel needs to be done on a daily basis. Sometimes just getting the energy and motivation to do the mundane things is difficult that it makes it hard to think about the 'bigger' things in life.

Anyway, the quote..."Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible". St Francis of Assisi.

This has helped me get into motion so to speak, once I just start what is necessary, such as doing the boring washing up or laundry, it sets forth a momentum. Of course, it doesn't always help but it's been useful for me over the past week. When I have gone through serious episodes of depression or anxiety, I even had to write a list of the process of getting myself ready for the day, such as having shower, getting changed, breakfast etc. All mostly necessary, and once done, set forth a process of motion even if that was all I was able to do for the day.

If anyone else has an inspiring quote please share.

Hello Blue Skies

What a great quote, and so practical. I love it. I have a number of quotes and sayings that help and lift me up at various times. My current favourite is, "When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and must take the first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or you will be taught how to fly." Patrick Overton.

Hope you enjoy this.

Mary

Hi farns,

Welcome and glad you enjoyed the quote. It is good to have a place where people can feel supported 😊 Energy and motivation can be nowhere to be found at times, hang in there.
