Don’t Go Through a Tunnel

Working non stop towards a goal is great.

Setting your sight on a point on the horizon and not stopping till you reach it, is wonderful.

Not seeing anything else on the way…running with blinders…having tunnel vision….not so good.

If you have ever been on a subway, or driven through a tunnel you have experienced tunnel vision. The only things you see are the entrance to the tunnel, then the exit and complete darkness in between.

We have goals, we have ambitions and we are told to do everything in our power to reach them.
Sure but what if we miss something on the way?
What if we miss a greater opportunity?
What if we miss that exit that we need to take before its too late?
What if we forget something back at point A?

We can’t go back until we exit the tunnel and turn back, which negates any progress made in the first place.

Bottomline…I don’t like tunnels. I like seeing the world around me and keeping my options open. Don’t live, work, run your business, or approach your goals in a tunnel. Taking the longer scenic route can be more valuable.
