Hitting a snag

What do you do when you hit a snag? Do you let it bother you or do you keep on trekking? I used to let it bother me, but I won't let it this time. I've hit a bit of a snag, but I guess I should have figured I would. If I let it bother me like I have in the past, I will never achieve / accomplish what it is I want to achieve / accomplish.
So snag or not, I will succeed in what I have planned. I just need to keep my head up, keep my chin high and git 'r' done.
I thought about how I'd get boxes, from work or from the UPS store near my work if need be. I hadn't though, however, that I have a sister and brother in law who also work in retail and are the managers of said retail and thus can get me boxes without much trouble (seeing as they help put up the stock).
Soo, I just need to keep my head up, and my thoughts clear and I'll get where I want to be in no time.
Ever hit a snag and let it tear you down?

Hitting a snag seems to be my middle name some days, so I can relate to snags that come out of nowhere. First thing I tell myself is to calm down and think it though. It's time to think 'out of the box'(pun intended)and come up with alternatives. If plan A doesn't work out, there's 25 more letters in the alphabet. I usually work through a snag on paper, pros, cons, alternatives, or a creative 'fudge-factor.' lol. I try not to let snags get me down, and try to look at it as a challenge, and not an obstacle.
For your boxes, if it's to mail your product from home...did you know that if you log in to the USPS website, you can have boxes delivered to your door for free? The boxes are free, and the mailman will deliver them for free. They have all kinds of sizes available, and they'll even give you the mailing/sealing tape for the boxes for free too. The thing I'd do would be to add a small shipping and handling 'fee' to cover the needed postage to mail the box via snail mail.

Ah, didn't realize you were moving. When I move I always get boxes from grocery stores, liquor stores or convenient. My son-in-law just got me a whole bunch, for packing, from a big restaurant. Lol, they were actually happy to get rid of them:-)

Well I have to fill out the application, but I pray that I'll be moving sometime soon, before March. Either way If it's not this place, I have to find another. I've got to get a lot of stuff done the next two months, and saving my money up is one of them. I'm not spending a dime out of my next three or four paychecks if I can help it.

I don't write mine down, i'll just throw the paper away or get discouraged halfway through. I just keep it in my mind.
No, this is for packing stuff to move. I'm hoping to get the application in the mail today, if not I'll wait until Monday when the office is open and call again.

No fair tearing the other guy down! You just keeping telling yourself that I will succeed in what I have planned. I just need to keep my head up, keep my chin high and git 'r' done. Be sure to just need to keep my head up, and my thoughts clear and I'll get where I want to be in no time.

I think I've just come off a snag that has lingered way too long. For a few months, I've been content on living day to day at work. I wasn't looking at the big picture, and where I wanted to be before the end of the year.
I've come off it early this week. And I think that I just need to catch up on a few things, then I would be on track. If I let it get me down, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

If I hit a snag, I just try and find a way around it, and then I can move forward. There is no use standing there, slack jawed, trying to figure out what to do and rather filling sorry for myself, as the situation seems rather dire. There are just times where I really just need to keep my head held high more often than not.
And in recent years, I think that I have hit many snags in my life. It is rather full of snags, there are many of them to say the least. It is not something that bothers me all that much but it allows me to get rather creative, as I try to maneuver around them in the best manner possible. Creativity is just something that drives me and I can't let a snag destroy any headway that I've made in my life.
