For others, it is just a few new details that may have been overlooked." Well put, Maggie! Seen this way, speed bumps CAN be our friends. :) “For some, they see the BIG picture.

I am reminded of the picture that is used at many workshops. You know the one that if you look at it one way, you see a pretty young girl. Continue to stare at this same photo, and you see the ugly old lady.You are seeing the same picture, just two very different perspectives. I believe that the speed bumps cause us to check our perspective and see what we may not be seeing--a shift to a new perspective of the same goal, idea, or situation. Speedbumps give us an opportunity to see the picture again. For some, they see the BIG picture. For others, it is just a few new details that may have been overlooked. Speedbumps are going to happen. How we respond to them is critical. What is your perspective? Do you see the old ugly lady or the pretty young girl?

We can back up and charge it over and over again or we can just back up and go around it. When you are preoccupied with getting through "it" and focusing on "it" you miss everthing else. Who or what is your brick wall? How can you refocus to take in your surroundings instead of the obstacle? This question is for me. But I will share it. Reminds me of the “brick wall”.

I am taking in the view and am a grateful for what I see. Pulling my map back out and re-ordering my intinerary. This could be fun. How about you?
