“There is a power that can be created out of pent-up indignation, courage, and the inspiration of a common cause, and that if enough people put their minds and bodies into that cause, they can win. It is a phenomenon recorded again and against in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world.”
― Howard Zinn
I have a very anxious & restorative personality. I worry over every minute little detail and try to fix every problem that I encounter, whether it is relevant to me or not. Sometimes, what I consider a "problem" is not even the usual definition. Of course in some aspects these are good qualities, but they can also be a detriment.
I tend to get stuck on ONE page in whatever chapter I may be in my life. Stuck re-reading and mulling over the smallest scintilla of information. ONE action - ONE word - Beating myself up over what I could have done better.
As with any aspect of your life or personality that you want to change - it doesn't happen overnight. But I am quickly learning to move on. I can never get to the next chapter, which may be the one where all the puzzle pieces collide into a beautiful picture that is my life, if I am stuck irrationaly re-reading a page in the past that is irrelevant.
So here's to turning the page - moving on - and staying steadfast and faithful to God.
