"Faucet"

As we make our way to the bathroom, the kitchen sink or even the shower, we have a tendency to regulate the amount of pressure that is released from the "Faucet." I remember being told and am now telling my kids to "turn down the water." I am abundantly aware of the right amount of pressure that is needed to bring about the right amount of water flowing from the "Faucet" for the children to wash their hands or brush their teeth or to get cleaned up.

The right amount of pressure per the right situation can stand to yield the best results. It is much easier to have a drink from a garden hose as opposed to drinking from a fire hose. Yet on a daily basis, we employ a thought process that would have us believe that in order for us to make a difference in our lives and within this world, we need to have that sip from the fire hose. And much to our own dismay, we do just that.

Sometimes, when we do not have someone around to tell us to "turn down the water," we forget that we own the regulation process to the "Faucet" in the first place. We control the amount of pressure that is used in our daily settings by simply engaging the "Faucet," in search of the right amount of pressure per the right situation, looking for those best results.

There are those that leave the "Faucet" running when the water is being used intermittently such as when you are brushing your teeth. Some use the "Faucet" sparingly, conscious of the control factor and aiming to decrease waste and ineffectiveness. And somewhere in the middle lies a combination of both, mindful, but not respectful of the "Faucet" and respectful, but not always mindful of the "Faucet."

WE control the amount of pressure that is released from our "Faucet's." WE control our own effectiveness and how it is employed. And WE determine when to "turn down the water."

So, if things are not right in your Life, "turn down the water."

Too much negativity composing your surroundings? "Turn down the water."

Unfacilitated chaos at home? "Turn down the water."

If your relationship is running on fumes, "turn down the water."

And stop drinking from that fire hose. The right amount of pressure per the right situation, for the best results, use the "Faucet."

Thank you Mother, for always reminding me to "turn down the water" on the "Faucet."
