Too Close to See Clearly<\/p>\n
Sometimes, we\u2019re too close to a problem to find the solution. We need distance\u2014a new perspective.<\/p>\n
Take Indie, the owl, for example. He spotted a mouse and almost swooped down, but something felt off. Instead of rushing in, he shifted to a higher branch. From there, he saw a snake poised to strike at the same mouse. The right choice became obvious: move on.<\/p>\n
Recently, at a conference for insurance agents called Applied NET, I met a couple while there, and we talked about business and life. It is one of my favorite things to do.<\/p>\n
The lady expressed that she was feeling stuck in her business. After talking with her, I realized she already knew the solution, but she couldn\u2019t see it. She was too close.<\/p>\n
Even Abraham Lincoln understood this. He surrounded himself with people who challenged him\u2014people who could see what he couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
We all need that. Find people who\u2019ll give you the truth, even when it\u2019s hard to hear. Distance and perspective can make all the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
