DOMINOS AND LIFE OVERLOADED

There are now world record competitions each year to show how you can topple up to 275,000 Domino's after you launch the first one. There are times when I feel life is similar.

The domino effect gives us a perfect example of how there are times when it is impossible in life not to sweat the small stuff. In fact, accumulated small stuff eventually knocks our entire routine over.

Normally the routine we have established in our lives, carries us through most days pretty easily.

However, a lot of 'small stuff' seems to creep up unexpectedly into our lives. Each additional task adds to those we already must do. 

Most of us, I think, have experienced periods of time, when there does not seem enough time to get everything we need to do done. Then again, there are times where we seem to be rushing around and still feel we are not able to complete anything properly.

Sometimes in fact, we feel as though we are about to be knocked over by the number of things we have to get done. 

At such times, it may be worth looking at a domino competition. Several good ones have been put on you tube. 

Meanwhile I suggest that in life, while the pile up seems ready to topple us over, in reality the extra little push ultimately moves us forward.  

When eventually we reach the end of the cycle, we can look back at the fact that, in the rush forward a lot of things actually were done. We can also see that we have also moved ahead to another place. 

Looking at the big rush and the push that propelled us forward, we can recognize that it actually isn't so bad, now that it is done. Besides we also moved forward.

Meanwhile, mercifully we can go back to our regular routine for the time being...until the next time.
