I just had a thought that gave me encouragement for those tough days so I thought I’d share in case any bears are feeling overwhelmed or discouraged today. Every skill you learn and thing you do to be more self reliant is a baby step out of Babylon, whether it’s growing a garden or cooking from scratch instead of a box. After several baby steps you learn to walk, albeit unsteadily at first. Now you are walking out of Babylon. The more steps you keep taking, the more steady you get. Then you can jog and finally you can sprint. Be patient, take those first, wobbling steps and before you know it, you’ll be sprinting out of Babylon with no care as to what is behind you, only what you can see ahead of you, coming into focus faster and faster as you gain speed, endurance, and confidence.
