Refrigerator On Your Back

I’ve been doing some home renovation projects lately, and have helped some other people with some home renovation projects lately.

Here’s one thing I’ve learned.

When people are lifting something extremely heavy and it’s not going well, they begin to speak incredibly clearly and concisely or they say things that barely make any sense at all.  One of the two.  It’s intense. And usually loud.

BUT…in either of these cases, when faced with extreme weight, they speak boldly, without filter, knowing exactly what they need. (Insert the PIVOT!!!!! scene from the show Friends)

Most of us spend a lot of time trying to figure out how not to be bold, how to sugar coat what we mean, and are uncertain about our needs.

Let’s start being bold, clear, alert and strong now…not just when life puts a refrigerator on our backs.
