from iyanla:

Most of us probably couldn't stand having all of our problems solved at one time. There would be so much light and power, we would be blown away. Some of us would be so frightened we would constantly peer over our shoulder, waiting for the disaster to come. In life, we see our problems as one great big mountain. In order to move the mountain, you have to dig away one grain of sand at a time.

At certain points you will have to move the same grain of sand several times. As you repeat the same thing over and over, you will get clear about what you do. Some parts of the mountain fall away with very little effort on your part. Maybe that part had nothing to do with you. It got mixed in with your stuff along the way. Some parts of the mountain will resist your efforts; they will not be moved.

Don't get stuck. When you are standing in front of the mountain, resist the feeling of overwhelmed. Move the piece of sand closest to you; that is easy to pick up. Pay attention to how you move it. Don't forget to celebrate yourself for every grain of sand that you move.

AFFIMATION: I can do this! One step at a time! One day at a time!
