However
child just stood and stared at
crayons. The teacher again asked her to choose her favorite color and write her name. The child remained still. Her mother knew she could do this but stayed back to allow
teacher to handle it. The teacher then put her arm around
girl and told her it was all right, she would learn to write her name during
school year.
As
little girl and mother rode home
mother asked her why she didn’t write her name. Her daughter responded, “She asked me to write my name with my favorite color and there was no pink crayon.”. The little girl, very capable of doing what was asked of her, didn’t do it because
situation was not perfect. Many times we are
same way.
As you get ready to tackle your debt, do that of which you are capable, not waiting for
perfect situation. While it is important to have a plan, it is more important to just begin. A plan may be adjusted as you go, but if you continually adjust your start date, you will never put your plan into action. So, start now, don’t wait for your pink crayon.
