Like Clockwork – I have a crazy clock that works and doesn’t work. The second hand gets bound up between the 12 and the 3, works fine from the 3 to the 6, and then takes a big swoop from the 6 back to the 12. But the hours and minutes work fine!



Often times we expect projects, hobbies, careers, etc. to go like “clockwork” – tick, tock, with evenly measured steps and we get frustrated when it doesn’t go that way. What might be happening is that the little baby steps you are seeing now are setting the stage for the leaps and bounds that are about to come. If you look backwards, you might find that a lot of your progress has happened that way. And if you still think things should go like clockwork, maybe it’s like my crazy clock works.
