Time

In life there are limitless responsibilities. Naturally, things are bound to fall through the cracks. But when your in the middle of it, the thick of it - when your feeling as though life is running you, instead of the other way around, don't fret. Don't even give it a second thought. Because, when the project is done, school is finished and your "out of the woods". Basking in the light at the end of the tunnel - you will find the time.

Time to make that phone call. Write that letter. Re-organize your life and re-discover the real you. Now you will set the tone. Set the pace. Set the date. You will feel accomplished, fulfilled and proud. Because you did what you set out to. Never gave up. You made it happen. All by yourself.

Until then, keep your head down. Stay in the fight and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Go easy on yourself. Give yourself some breathing room. No unnecessary expectations and plenty of leeway to make a mistake or two, or even three. Put a calendar on the wall, and at the end of each day, write in a big red "X" to symbolize that you are one step closer to the completion of your goal/project. Before you know it, you'll be walking up to the stage to receive your diploma or walking out of a staff meeting smiling proudly from all the "Well done's" and "Good Work's."
