| There is no truth; Only perception. |
Remember that episode of Simpson’s when Homer’s hands are stuck in two vending machines- And there is a scientist, police, fire truck, ambulance etc…all gathered around trying to help free him but to no avail…...yet in the end when all rescue options have been exhausted….somebody says ‘Hey! Wait a minute! Homer-By any crazy chance you are not still holding on to that candy bar and soda can inside the machines-are you!?’ and Homer says ‘Yeah..!?Why..!?’-D’OH!!
That scene popped into my head the other day while I was at the gym on a rowing machine…you know how your mind wanders aimlessly at such times-right!?…Well it left me smiling with a profound understanding…that most of my biggest obstacles in life were actually just like that! You know when you feel like the only way out of some complex situation is via some radical and tragic solution similar to when Homer’s rescue squad was left seriously contemplating sawing his hands off to free him from the machines–Right!? So often our bad situations require us to mentally recognize our hang-ups, to let go and to allow ourselves to be freed-See!? All it takes is a change of perception or maybe the undertaking of an inconvenient action or perhaps even a series of difficult action items but in the end we truly are only as constrained as we choose to be.
Who knew Homer could offer such deep insight and important moral for us! Let go of that soda can and free yourself from whatever painful predicament (be it an unsatisfying job, or a relationship that doesn't serve you anymore, or a belief system that's holding you back, or a bad habit....or whatever it is!). Choose to break free!! It's my motto these days and I
swear by it! So I wish the same for us all-
-C’MON! GET UNSTUCK ALREADY!! |
