You Can’t Read the Label From Inside the Bottle
Just like Apple Maps, your internal GPS may take you a direction that makes no sense in the moment, but learn to trust it, it will eventually lead you where you were meant to go.
A few days ago, someone asked me if I was a skier or a snowboarder. When I told him I was, he suggested that perhaps the reason I was stuck was that I was too busy looking at the trees around me instead of the path through them that would take me to the bottom of the mountain.
Another way to say this would be that you cannot read the label from inside the bottle.
His firm kick in the ass landed perfectly, and I left our conversation with a new perspective.
And that’s the POINT. Sometimes, probably more often than we admit to ourselves, we need a new perspective.
