Feeling the Shackles

I wonder if anybody has ever felt as though life was overwhelming because I certainly am feeling that way now just thinking about what lies in store in my future. Just when you think that it's too much too soon, somebody like Mr. Obama shows up and floors you. Bad enough that there's too much on your plate - look at him!

Has anyone been reading the newspapers lately? Have you seen the expectations people are piling on him? And forget the U.S, all around the world people are hoping he will aid or bring change to their countries. The pressure is immense. He may as well have been elected the Ruler of the World if that were the case.

But I digress, my point is that I'm just amazed at the things people can do - the mountains they are able to carry and move. I can't imagine being in his shoes right now... it's just too overwhelming! But it does make me feel that my problems are smaller and more manageable and I hope that I will be able to rise to the occasion and deal with it well.

The most important thing I believe, is to believe in yourself and what you're doing and to trust yourself to see you through life (mostly unscathed).
