Life is Great if everything you want Happens.
But, unfortunately Life is the other way - whatever you do NOT want often Happen!
Just like I never want to deal with a Flat Tyre.
I often pretend myself to be a "Man of Brain" and NOT a "Man of Hands"
So, I just keep convincing myself I never have to change a Flat Tyre.
But, I had to encounter the problem Three times.
"Yes, You Once, Twice, Three Times a...........................Flat Tyre."
The first one happened about 4 years ago, when me driving with my family from Auckland to Wellington. My rear tyre got a puncture, then I panicked because we're in the middle of nowhere and it's about to rain.
Thank God I got a helping hand from a passing by driver, though he did make me worried when him stopping his car and walked towards us. He looked really Rough..............but was later proved himself to be really Kind. Not only he changed my Flat Tyre within minutes, but he also gave my children sweets!
The second time was about 6 months ago, happened right outside my driveway!
My neighbour ran towards me to stop me driving, alerting me I got a Flat Tyre. So, my neighbour changed the tyre for me.
So I bought him a nice Chinese takeaway meal!!
So, I thought I was really Lucky and will continue to be Lucky - there will be NO NEED to learn how to change a Flat Tyre.
Then came the Surprise.
After leaving the local cafe and on my way to the capark 5 days ago, I noticed the rear tyre of my car was flat! Once again I was panicked - because in less than 8-hour time, I should be checking-in at the Brisbane International Airport for my HK flight!
Then came my Helper ------------- I thought.
I saw a male parking his car near mine. So I thought Luck had come to me the third time!
But when seeing him leaving his car, I was terribly disappointed - he had a plaster on his right arm!!
So, No More Escape - had to face my Own Fate - took up the Owner's Manual and start reading the Chapter, "Changing a Flat Tyre"!
It took me more than 40 minutes to read, try, scream, sw??? , a black face, a pair of black hands and a black trousers to finally complete the task - the once I thought Mission Impossible!
My wife actually came and kissed me, congratulating me, saying
"I'm so proud of you!!"
Yes, I was so proud of myself too! I did it!
I have always tried to avoid "Facing my Weakest Side".
They call it "Denial"
If you think Nothing is Possible, then think again.
If NZ could smash its biggest rate cut of 1.5% since its record began;
If Sweden could made an unprecedented rate cut of 1.75%.; and
If I could change a Flat Tyre MYSELF!
Then everything is Possible.
Is it possible for you to Face Your Own Fate - and Learn from Your Own Mistake?
What is your Denial?
Fate
Face Yourself or face the Consequences
