Do the next thing. I don't know any simpler formula for peace, for relief from stress and anxiety than that very practical, very down-to-earth word of wisdom. Do the next thing. That has gotten me through more agonies than anything else I could recommend.
In her book "Suffering Is Never for Nothing," Elisabeth Elliot offers a profound yet straightforward piece of advice: "Do the next thing." This mantra serves as a guiding principle for navigating through life's challenges, particularly during stressful and anxious times. By focusing on immediate actions, it becomes easier to overcome the overwhelming feelings that accompany difficulties, leading to a more peaceful and manageable approach to life's hurdles.
Elliot emphasizes that this practical wisdom has helped her endure many struggles, suggesting it can be a lifeline for anyone facing hardship. Instead of becoming paralyzed by anxiety or the weight of suffering, concentrating on the next step can provide clarity and direction, allowing one to move forward with purpose and resilience.
