Do you know how to kill a frog? Most people think by placing a frog in boiling water you can kill it. But it just jumps out. The way to kill a frog is to place it in ordinary water and heat it so slowly there’s never a time when the change is so dramatic the frog makes a decision. It simply stays and boils to death. Having a job \/marriage where conditions deteriorate every year or your income doesn’t match the economy, or progress is so slow you never do something about it… That’s how you kill a person! Step back and take a look at those things you’re not satisfied with. How did they get there? <\/p>\n

One bit at a time. One action at a time. One decision at a time. One drink at a time.<\/p>\n

Now is the time for you to take a great step in that situation. Enough of justifications that say, “I’ll give it more time and something will change \/happen.” No it won’t. It’s a new day. It got here one second<\/strong> at a time. Take one thing that you want to change and do it now! <\/strong>It’s OK to ‘overreact’ just once. It won’t be, but from your view — too much patience — <\/em><\/strong>it’ll seem<\/span> that way. ————————– These are related:<\/strong> 1<\/strong> Ferris Wheel<\/a> – 3<\/strong> Cumulative Knowledge<\/a> – 22<\/strong> Attitude<\/a> – 30<\/strong> Ever-changing Relationships<\/a> 31<\/strong> Being at-Cause<\/a> – 35<\/strong> One + One = Two!<\/a> – 48<\/strong> Saying No<\/a> – 50<\/strong> Limits<\/a> – 59<\/strong> Hesitation<\/a> 71<\/strong> Nice<\/a> – 102<\/strong> Response-ability<\/a> – 103<\/strong> Ring\/Knock Part 2<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
