Crash Landed... Again?!

LOL... Can you relate to the story below? I can, keep reading...




Here's
a story I heard in a 12-step support meeting years ago that goes like this: 



Three very
big, burly guys wanted to go moose-hunting, knowing there was no moose
where they lived, they packed up their moose hunting gear and flew out to
Northwest Territory. They'd done this before. They arrived up north,
got their room and after a few phone calls they hired Joe, a helicopter
operator, to drop them off at a mountain top for moose hunting. They told Joe
they'd radio in when they were ready to get picked up with their moose.




Hours
later Joe gets the call "We're ready, we got ourselves a Big One!" Joe arrives at
the mountain top and steps out of the helicopter. Eying the BIG moose he turns
to the three big burly guys and says, "Fellas, I don't think we can haul all
three of you and this Big moose in this helicopter".




Surprised
one of the big burly guys responds, "Well, why not? We did it last year!"




Hesitantly
Joe says, "Hmm, … Okay…"




Throw
in that BIG moose and throw in those three big, burly guys. Shortly after
takeoff, they crash landed!




"What
happened?" asked, one of the big burly guys.




"We
crashed landed! Said Pilot Joe.




Where
are we?" the question continued.




 "We're just a few feet from where we crashed
landed last year!' Pilot Joe yelled out.




Remember, learning is a gift that grants us insightful
opportunities; if we're willing to pay attention. Insightful opportunities such
as learning from our past mistakes or better yet, learning from others' mistakes
can be lifelong lessons so we can live a better life. Then of course there
are some of us (me included) that just have to test the waters for ourselves. Testing the water? Well, that's another blog for another day. Stay tuned :)
