I was very touched by your story about your mom and the note that you discovered written in her bible. As a mom myself, I can\u2019t even imagine what she must have been experiencing, and how much she must have been praying for a miracle for the sake of her 4 young children. What good advice your mom shared about focusing on getting through an hour at a time, or a day at a time \u2026 by creating \u201cday tight compartments\u201d as a coping mechanism in times of crisis and tragedy. This is a strategy that is also taught in Dale Carnegie courses and something that I have also used when stressful situations can feel completely overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a small section shared from the website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dalecarnegiewaynj.com\/2011\/05\/27\/reduce-worry-by-living-in-\u2018day-tight-compartments\u2019\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.dalecarnegiewaynj.com\/2011\/05\/27\/reduce-worry-by-living-in-\u2018day-tight-compartments\u2019\/<\/a><br \/>\n\u201cOne of Dale Carnegie\u2019s principles for overcoming worry is to live in day-tight compartments. This term was first coined by Sir William Osler when he encountered this life-changing quote from Thomas Carlisle, \u201cIt is not our goal to see what lies dimly in the distance but to do what clearly lies at hand.\u201d<br \/>\nRather than look to the past or more than 24 hours ahead of the present Sir Osler focused the tasks at hand. Often times, our thoughts are dominated by regrets and mistakes of the past, or anxiety about upcoming events. We are unable to perform what needs must be done at the moment because we are trapped in the past or future. Dale Carnegie said, \u201cIf you want to avoid worry, do what Sir William Osler did: Live in \u201cday-tight compartments.\u201d Don\u2019t stew about the futures. Just live each day until bedtime\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dalecarnegiewaynj.com\/2011\/05\/27\/reduce-worry-by-living-in-\u2018day-tight-compartments\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.dalecarnegiewaynj.com\/2011\/05\/27\/reduce-worry-by-living-in-\u2018day-tight-compartments<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The words \u201cthis too shall pass\u201d are powerfully encouraging and uplifting, especially when shared by people who have lived through turmoil and hardships themselves and are courageous survivors. The words seem to take on more meaning when delivered by those who have experienced the truth of them.<\/p>\n<p>I especially enjoyed what you said about wanting to be there for others who are struggling and to intentionally \u201chold space\u201d for them. What a beautiful thing to want to do! I\u2019ve been very lucky to have had others \u201chold space\u201d for me and it is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I too, would love to be able to pay that kindness forward.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for sharing yet another courageous and inspiring post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Light From Many Lamps &#8211; Courage and the Conquest of Fear Another beautifully written and inspiring post!
