Imagine walking into your room after a long day, wanting to jump into your bed. You switch on the light and are greeted by a 6-legged creature staring at your face.ย ๐Ÿ˜จย 

At this moment, when you make eye contact with the cockroach, it is quite scary, but whatโ€™s worse is that it takes off from the tarmac, flies around the room, and lands on your shoulder as a ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒย ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ, leaving you screaming. The next moment, this creepy creature vanishes into thin air. You get into bed, assuming the problem is solved.

The next evening, you walk back into your room and switch on the light, only to find your six-legged creature staring at your face. This creature has the superpower to ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑย ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟย ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ปย ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ย ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ย ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ย ๐—ถ๐˜.


As a child, whenever this 6-legged companion greeted me, I did either of the following:

Two decades later, I can draw a strong parallel to my experiences with these creatures, people & situations in life that ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑย ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟย ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ปย ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ย ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ย ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ย ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ.

For instance, ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒย ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐˜€, uncomfortable reminders of missed deadlines from your boss, forgotten anniversaries (from who else, but your beloved spouse ๐Ÿ˜„ย ), and never-ending conflicts.

Take time to take that one step

But don't neglect to take that one crucial step"
