I went for a walk on Sunday and had a great time walking with my good friend and the dog in the park.

My friend and I were talking about 2012 and how it was supposed to be the year for change and we were discussing what changes we wanted to make and how we were going to overcome any challenges before us. We were discussing possible remedies and plans of action when I looked over towards two trees in the distance and couldn’t quite work out what was going on over there.

As the dog had decided to run over that way anyway we walked over to get a better look.

As we approached the trees we could see some guys making some noise and arms flailing.

What were they doing?

When we got nearer we saw that there was a towing rope about two feet from the ground tied around both trees and the guys were using it as a tight rope.

How incredible – I’ve never seen that in a local park before.

We stopped and watched them for a while and then asked what they were practising for? Nothing they said they just wanted to learn how to do it. One of the brothers seemed to have got the hang of it and went nearly all the way across, whilst the other was having balance problems from the start and wasn’t that happy about it, bless him.

It was great watching them actually as they were having a great time practising and we had a laugh and a joke about one of them being ready for Niagara Falls soon. They’d only been practising for half an hour and they’d really made progress.

Again I asked them what it was in aid of and they said nothing specific, they’d just decided that they wanted to learn to do it, couldn’t find a school or trainer nearby so decided to go it alone.

A definite example of thinking outside the box and overcoming obstacles.

It’s cool how when you’re thinking something, an example appears.

So remember, think outside the box for ways to overcome your obstacles and make whatever you want to happen-happen!

It’s never clear where and when life’s lessons are going to appear, so keep your ears and eyes open!
