The Tentative Tarrier

“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

-Christopher Robin to Pooh

 

I would guess that Christopher Robin is much more observant than Pooh. Or it may be true that we simply don’t know the extent of our own nature or the power of influence in our own behaviors. Perhaps, being mind-logged is the greatest disservice to our episodes of humon interaction. “Who am I? How do I appear? Am I up to the task?  What will people think of me?” I call that running the gauntlet of dissuasion. In excess, questions that derail and detain are defeatist. The biggest step is the first one out of the gate. After that, they come more easily and with accelerating momentum.

If there is something to do, somewhere to go or someplace to be… I find it successful to move in a dedicated fashion in that direction. What bogs me down are the questions of capacity, competency, endurance and physical bias. The only program I need to work today… is the First Step program. Once I’m in the field, the wind will carry me, the earth will support me and the sun will carry me through.

Q: Are there any circumstances that loom large on your agenda, causing all kinds of debilitating questions,
     delaying or even canceling the event?
