We don’t need to move mountains, build a house or even clean out every closet in one day. Sometimes we just have to clean one shelf at a time, put one foot in front of the other and remind ourselves that is enough for today.

I have a very close friend whose daughter had a series of horrible tragedies in her life. I asked my friend how she was doing and she answered, “She is putting one foot in front of the other.”
I later looked up this quote, which is by George Lucas. What he said was, “You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.”
That quote really resonated with me. In times of tragedy, this is the only way to move ahead. However, it can work with everyday problems, too.
