Attitude.
It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it. One day, a donkey fell into an old abandoned well. An old farmer, passing by, said, "The old well is abandoned and the donkey isn't worth trying to save," so he started to shovel dirt into the well to bury the donkey alive.
After the first shovel, full of dirt came down on the donkey, the beast of burden realized something: every time dirt landed on his back, he could shake it off and step up. The farmer kept shovelling and the donkey kept shaking it off and stepping up. This went on for some time, with the donkey shaking it off and stepping up, shaking it off and stepping up. And it wasn't long before he stepped out of the well exhausted but triumphant.
No matter how difficult the situation, no matter how bad things get, no matter how much dirt gets dumped on you, how well do shake it off and step up?
1. I'm covered up with all of life's troubles.
2. I've got to get moving.
3. I'm stepping on up.
4. I'm out my hole and charging ahead.
