Freedom from What’s Holding You Back

It promised to be a scorcher today, so I was out early for my morning walk. I hadn’t gone far when I saw a frail, white-haired gent in a motorized wheelchair approaching. I felt suddenly very fortunate to be walking upright and at a brisk pace.

“Good morning!” I said, as he neared me.

“Helluva day for convertibles,” he said, looking at me with a glint in his eye.

He was past me before what he said fully sank in. And then I was grinning from ear to ear. Yes, indeed. It’s a helluva day for convertibles. I kept that cheesy grin on my face all the way home.

In that brief exchange, my elderly gentleman demonstrated that he knew something—he knew a valuable secret. He knew how to free himself of limitations!

He wasn’t handicapped and confined to a wheelchair—oh, no! He was out in a convertible and it was certainly a fine day for convertibles!

The secret is all about interpretation. How are you interpreting your circumstances? How are you interpreting events? How are you interpreting limitations…obstacles…handicaps? Are you traveling in a wheelchair or a convertible?

Because…..it’s a helluva day for convertibles!
