Tools

When we we are faced with challenges in life we all deal with them differently . Some try to ignore these scary ideals and hope they will go away . Others want to attempt to hide from them , or an individual may use tools. When you think of tools usually what comes to mind are objects such as hammers, nails , saws , putty and other building materials .
      
      The thing is that in life you can not always physically see the hardships we are challenged with . Therefore the tools we use may not have a physical appearance either but that does not mean that they are not there and it does not mean that they will not work with out life's projects.

    Instead of putty or nails keeping things together we may have our families or friends supporting our infrastructure instead. A psychologist could serve as our hammer to pound things into our minds when we are having a hard time , especially when the emotions crowd up our vision of seeing the reality . They could also serve as a saw to help cut things down and clear them out. Other tools could be activities such as working out , doing yoga , baking , painting , crafts , and other things that help us remain calm and exert that excess energy and stress we have.

When you get the bottom of it though we are the contractors and builders of our lives . We are given tools and individuals along the way to help us with these proposals but it has to come from our effort , hearts , and mind to get things started . Just like all projects there will be slip ups or mistakes but as long as you use your tools you can conquer them .

   No one is perfect and things do not always work out but that does not mean that nothing good came from it and that there was no progress made. It is those small progressions which get us there eventually . Slow down and take your time ... remember , "Just keep swimming"
