Ever have a day where you just can't seem to get everything finished? The laundry is piling up. The kids are hungry and you don't have time to cook dinner. You have racing thoughts about how you're going to get your homework done? All of these things equate to being overwhelmed. Hence.... that's where I'm at today. Sometimes being overwhelmed is a good thing. Being overwhelmed is a pressure that causes you to take action. Having said that... I'm going to turn my lemons into lemonade and turn being overwhelmed into a positive.
My positive quote for the term overwhelmed:
"Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds."
