Fawlty Showers 2

Do It Anyway

When I sat down in my office I realized I had no desire whatsoever to work.

I thought about a story a therapist at one of my trainings had told me.

His client had walked three miles in a blizzard to meet his dealer.  The man traded his prize possession, a full-length down Philadelphia Eagles coat, and the last little bit of money he had, for heroin. He then walked home through the blinding snow in just a T-shirt.

This same man had called the therapist to say he didn’t feel like going to an NA meeting three blocks away. A light spring rain was falling.

“What did you tell him?” I had asked the therapist.

“I told him to do it anyway.  If people only did what they felt like doing the world would grind to a halt.”

I doubted the world would grind to a halt if I didn’t finish the paperwork piling up on my desk, but I took his advice.  With a heavy sigh, I did it anyway.

 

Today I’ll do it anyway.
