The Beetle and the Dog

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

My dog Penny could have killed the beetle on our back porch in half a second. Instead, she stared at it, circled it, poked at it a few times, then gave up and wandered off. "The task never gets bigger. Only your imagination of it does." Whatever you're avoiding this morning is probably smaller than the version living in your head. Eat the frog first.
