In Others’ Words: Avoiding the Debris of Life
Snags and debris. We’re not going to make it through life without running it to one or the other … or both.
Snags are impediments to progress … irritants, interferences, interruptions … we want to go one way and they push and prod us another, holding us back from our goals.
But debris … that’s another kind of danger that can weigh you down, pull you under, and drown you.
Snags can leave marks — a scratch here, a bruise there. Debris, however, can be lethal. Emotional debris like guilt … regret … shame … fear … they pile up on us and dishearten us.
Best to heed Anne Shannon Monroe’s words and “Pull yourself loose and go on.”
How?
Ask for help from someone standing on firm ground — someone who sees the truth you’ve lost sight of.
Recognize the debris for what it is: garbage. Nothing more, nothing less.
Regain your focus. Realize you are stuck — remember where you’re headed — and start moving again.
In Your Words: What snags have you run into recently? How do you avoid debris that stops the forward motion in your life?
