måndagen den 27:e februari 2006 - Dagens Meditationstext
"The first time you swim, don't jump in the deep end. The first time you ski, don't head to the highest summit. The first time you walk...well, let's just assume you hadn't signed up for a marathon.
If there is something you want to change in your life, there will probably be another first time. And you might be tempted to jump in with both feet. Or you might be so afraid of jumping in with both feet, that you won't go in at all.
Why not stick your toe in the water first to feel the temperature. Make a small change in your life, and make plans to make the bigger change once you have mastered the small change.
This won't always work, of course. Sometimes, cold turkey is the way to go. But if cold turkey is too scary, try something a little easier to chew on...like warm turkey."
