Here is an old saying that seems to have relevance to many aspects of our lives and our roles in life:
” When you are up to your butt in alligators, it is difficult to remember that the initial objective was to drain the swamp.”

Nice one! You made me smile.
I’d pleased you enjoyed it. It made me laugh when I read it too.
OMG!! We say that in our family all the time!!
It is such a useful saying Trece but I’d not heard it before coming across it in a book I was reading over the weekend. While I lol’d initially I realised it has deeper levels of meaning. A search on its origin came up with the following: “The objective of all dedicated employees is to thoroughly analyze all situations, anticipate all problems prior to their occurrence, have answers for these problems, and move swiftly to solve these problems when called upon. However, when you are up to your ass in alligators, it is difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.”
Thanks for stopping by and commenting:-)
