How Do You Eat An Elephant?
My daughter is a big Dr. Who fan. So, last night we went to Painting With A Twist to paint a Van Gogh-ish version of the Tardis.
I said that I would be amazed if I ended up painting something that actually looked like the example painting.
The first thing the instructor said was, “How do you eat an elephant?” (A bite at a time.) He then instructed us to just focus on the bite sized piece that was in front of us and trust that it would all work out.
He also told us that at times our painting would look ugly but not to worry because it would change.
Sure enough he was correct on all counts and I was amazed by what I had created.
Seems like this is a pretty good metaphor for life.
Much love,
