Do I lift 200 kg ?

Imagine you have a barbell with 200 kg of cast-iron in front of you.

And you have to lift it.
(and you presently can't, of course)

What would your possible various reactions be ?

Helplessness.
Silence.
Wondering.
Despair.
Struggling.
Be unhappy.
Dream at solutions.

Well, there are plenty of attitudes that we can be led to.

(and that doesn't mean we don't want to lift these 200 kg)

There's a way for each direction we'd like to take.

The point is : highways are well know ; but little ways, less.

At least, we can think to know how to put one step in front of the other.

But, where to put the first step isn't ever so clear.

That's all.

Sort:  

It could be all those reactions, in some order, even if some of them may appear only for a split second, while others may last a bit longer.
If a cast iron barbell weighing 200kg was in front of me, if I not only had to lift it, but wanted to do it, I would find a way to lift it.
