Tunnel Vision
Read this all the way to the end, please :)
One looks through a tube at a mix of things.
He sees:
BAD BAD BAD NASTY BAD NASTY TERRIBLE GROSS BAD WORSE BAD BAD GROSS NASTY NASTY GOOD BAD TERRIBLE GROSS NASTY BAD BAD BAD TERRIBLE NASTY BAD WORSE WORSE TERRIBLE NASTY GROSS BAD BAD
What does he want?
He wants the GOOD, of course.
So he zooms his tunnel in and focuses on that GOOD.
He does everything he can just to see that GOOD.
People tell him to put the tube away.
He won't listen.
He focuses even more on the GOOD.
But one day his hand slips,
and he drops the tube.
He looks around and sees so much more.
He sees:
BAD BAD BAD NASTY BAD NASTY TERRIBLE GROSS BAD WORSE BAD BAD GROSS NASTY NASTY GOOD BAD TERRIBLE GROSS NASTY BAD BAD BAD TERRIBLE NASTY BAD WORSE WORSE TERRIBLE NASTY GROSS BAD BAD
AMAZING TERRIBLE GREAT GREAT WONDERFUL BEST BETTER GOOD GREAT BAD GROSS AMAZING BETTER BEST OUTSTANDING GREAT BETTER WONDERFUL TERRIBLE NASTY BEAUTIFUL GREAT AMAZING OUTSTANDING BEST BETTER BAD GREAT WORSE AMAZING GREAT
What does he want now?
There is so much good that he doesn't even have to choose.
He doen't need to focus all of his time and energy on just the GOOD, but the AMAZING, GREAT, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, OUTSTANDING, BETTER, and BEST.
Do you have tunnel vision?
Get rid of it.
You'll see so much more that you've never seen, considered, or thought about before.
So don't look through that tube anymore.
