What is the most difficult thing you have ever done?

...My advice to you if I have any would be thiS: it's good to have a plan, but don't try to focus too much on that. Try to focus on what you can do each day and what needs to be done each day and complete each day the best you can. Keep the plans in the back of your mind but if you focus too much on them, you often get overwhelmed and don't perform today's task as well as you should.


Just my 2 cents.

Agree with this.

I truly have been pretty lucky in not having many difficulties to confront or overcome. Raising children is a challenge and in spite of what I thought has not gotten easier as they've gotten older. "Bigger kids, bigger problems" is a truism.

I guess in general what's helped me get through the trying times is trying to maintain a sense of humor, rolling with the punches and having faith that the difficulties won't last forever.

This too shall pass...
 
The next year is going to come and go regardless of what you do. 365 days from now, you're either going to be happy as a pig in **** that you stuck it out, or super pissed that you let the ******** win.


In short: Buck the **** up, man. Hard work always pays off. (coming from the guy who has never worked a hard day in his life)
 
I've never considered anything I've done to be overly hard or difficult. I don't get hung up on things for long and forget emotional imprintations quickly enough.

ducks are pretty quick on the imprint. Guess they have to swim with the current, then get up to altitude for going a thousand miles, not much of a payoff for extra baggage.

If you're not a duck, don't duck it.
 
Not sure if I'm answering this thread correctly-- it has to be a single decision?

I'll just describe a tough period in my life.

Living through the experience of being active in the arguments trying to reconcile a marriage that was falling apart between my two parents, while helping care for my uncle while he was fighting stage IV Cancer, and fundraising for his treatment seeing as he wasn't a Canadian citizen & he therefore had no healthcare coverage. This was when I was age 13-16. Tough, but those three years defined me-- completely. And I'm a better, stronger, more empathetic person having persevered through it.

Whatever the results were, I think trying to do something shows the highest level of humanity.

When we don't make an attempt to turn things for the better, something dies in us.
 
Translation: I like turtles.

I am a kindred spirit to turtles, but really, Franklin is a fledgling genius, and will not shed those downy feathers for a while, and I hope he doesn't settle too quickly for a momma's imprint. He could do better.

Truly powerful words.

That experience was the main reason I signed up to volunteer in a prostate cancer research lab in the summer after my first year of college-- I'm still there, now doing research, 3 years later. I cannot say enough about how much it's formed me, in a positive manner.
