Doing anything can be overwhelming, be they tasks or managing relationships. Trying to do it all, especially in the age of instant gratification, is daunting.
What do we do when anything seems to drown us? The answer- small steps. We sometimes cannot do it all (at once) despite trying ever so hard.

Stairs so sharp and steep
One must ascend these high stairs
At a reasoned pace.
