Fawlty Showers 2

 Fawlty Showers 2

Steps and Pyramids

I ran group the next day.

“I don’t like steps,” a young man said, pointing to a poster. “The image is always a staircase or some pyramid.”

“Why is that a problem?” I asked.

“Because the steps to change are never regular like a staircase.   Doesn’t matter what you’re trying to change.   Could be seven steps to a happier marriage, or five steps to permanent weight loss – doesn’t matter, the steps are never even.”

“So what image would you like?”

“Mountain trail.  You take longer steps down steep slopes, maybe feeling like you’re losing ground.  Sometimes the ground is flat and you make good progress.  The higher the peak you’re trying to reach, the harder the steps get at the end.”

“Makes sense,” I said.

“The point is, it doesn’t matter how easy or hard the next step feels, as long as it’s in the right direction.”

 

Today I’ll take a step in the right direction, no matter how easy or hard it feels.
