Everyone probably has experienced it. An object falls underneath your
bed or closet and in order for you to get it, you have to get down,
flat on your stomach, to reach it. What mostly happens next is, that
the object seems JUST too far away for you being able to reach it
easily. You try to reach out, but you only softly stroke the object, making it
roll away even further. Just when you thought it was too far away
already, you decide to try again, now putting in that extra little
effort. Reaching out further and by doing so grasping the object. Now,
you start thinking, why didn't you put in that extra little effort in
the first place? Even with half the extra little effort, you would've
made it already. So next time something rolls underneath your bed. Try to think about it. Reach out already with that extra little potential inside you. Since sometimes old strategies/habits, don't cut it anymore. We have to run into a dead end in order for us to grow. Open up for new habits. Installing new thinking patterns. In doing so, reaching out to our full potential.

Perhaps it's people's nature to always try the more easy option first and afterwards they come to the conclusion that they 'wasted' more time being stubborn. But can we use the term 'wasted'? perhaps we have to change the term into 'learn your lesson'.
ReplyDeleteIt is not easy to change peoples way of thinking, but perhaps this can be a good start.
Just think about the time you save with that litte extra effort and what you can do with the spare time.
