“I have found that you do have only to take that one step toward the Gods, and they will then take ten steps toward you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of, or over the edge of, your boundaries, and it often must be taken before you know that you will be supported” Diane K. Osbon

Bipolar Disorder
Recently Catherine Zeta-Jones announced she was Bi-Polar ~ and good for her! Awareness of Bi-Polar disorder is important because millions of people have the disorder and leave it untreated. Truth is, many people who are Bi-Polar and do not get help open up the possibility of suicide at some time in their life because suicide among Bi-Polar sufferers is common. It doesn’t have to be this way as medication and treatment is very effective and with it, people can and do live normal lives. Please get help if you suspect you are Bi-Polar or know of anyone who is. Help is easy and fast with medication and treatment and all you have to do is start. Thousands of lives will be saved with help and maybe one of those is a loved one.

Stress Management
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience,
Raised a glass of water and asked,
“How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance
In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
He continued,
“And that’s the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
As the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
We won’t be able to carry on.”
“As with the glass of water,
You have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.”
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home you can pick it up tomorrow.”
“Whatever burdens you’re carrying now,
Let them down for a moment if you can.
So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don’t pick it up again until after you’ve rested a while.”

Today’s Thought: “Persistence is visionary” Daphne Rose Kingma
“Persistence is knowing that in the face of a thousand reasons to be discouraged, you choose to carry on no matter how seemingly hopeless the present situation may seem. The power of persistence is required especially when we’re dealing with intense, emotionally devastating circumstances or difficult things that have stacked up all at once” Chris Attwood and Janet Bray Attwood
“Nothing can take the place of persistence….not talent, or genius, or education. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent” (paraphrased) Wolfgang von Goethe
