There’s a story of a driver who was not paying attention and got his tall truck stuck while going under a bridge. The more he accelerated forward, the more stuck his vehicle became. He tried backing up, but it was too late.
Traffic started to back up for a mile, while crowds and emergency vehicles started to gather.
After hours of pushing, pulling and trying every idea they could think of, they reached their limit and finally decided to demolish the truck to get it out from under the bridge.
Just then, out of the crowd, a 6 year old child asked…
“Why don’t you let some air out of the tires?”
Problem solved.
Like the driver, has ‘not paying attention’ in life ever led to you getting stuck, stranded or frustrated?
In what ways is limited or old thinking keeping you (or someone you know) bogged down, imprisoned or apart from your goals?
What is the elusive obvious, the elegant ‘AHA!’ solution or fresh perspective you can bring to your current challenge(s)?
loved this – I hope we will also get tips on what we can do to improve our brains, I would love to regain the wisdom of the 6 year old…
Very intriguing blog. Im glad I checked it out….will follow.
