Rivers are easiest to cross at their source, of course right?
Who wants to cross a deep river with raging rapids and deadly currents?
The same goes for life too, except the deep river is just a metaphor…
A metaphor of bad habits, lack of discipline, falling prey to chaos, dysfunction, negativity…
Maybe these things seem like mountains now, maybe not – either way these self-induced issues started out as just a little trickle, even more, a calm pond.
Would you rather “kill the monster when it’s little” or take on Godzilla?
It’s up to us
but if we find ourselves about to cross a raging rapid with a deadly current, then we might as well give it our best shot, give ourselves a fighting chance to make it across.
