This is Why Perception Equals Reality
A few days ago I had an urgent errand to run and a friend of mine said he’d help me to get to the place by 3 o’clock. It was a small window of time but it was doable.
With the small window of time and the importance of the errand, what do you think happened?
On the way there, we got stuck behind a slow truck, fell into some traffic and right at 2:59, for some inexplicable reason, two cars were parked at the entrance talking to each other. We honked the horn and they eventually moved off.
I’m not sure what time I got inside because I was so focused on just getting inside and finishing the task. And maybe because I feared I had ran out of time and I didn’t want to face that possibility.
Fortunately, I got inside and finished my errand. As a matter of fact, I was early. The placed closed at 4.
Earlier I had asked you what you thought my fate would be knowing that I had a small window of time and an urgent errand. Hopefully you actually indulged me and thought about it.
Perhaps you thought that all sorts of hell would try to prevent me from getting to the destination. Maybe you even thought that I failed in the end. Or maybe you thought I would make it, despite all the problems that would probably come up.
