Alright everyone, time for a reflective Friday blog post out of me. I came across this interesting blog post about a Birth Clock. Alex defines a birth clock as such:
“The “Birth Clock” is a fragile glass object containing a digital clock that is not working; it is designed to help you to come to a decision when you’re stuck at a specific point in life. Smash the glass, and the clock will start to work, leaving you with the broken object as a reminder of your dramatic decision. Leave the object as it is, and you remain out of time, having the beautiful object as a reminder of your resistance to change. What would you do?”
I think this concept is fascinating. We all have encountered major decisions in our lives personally, professionally, and otherwise. The impact of those decisions stays with us forever.
It’s interesting how many of us are resistant to change in our lives even when things aren’t quite the way we would like them to be. We get “comfortable” with a situation and would rather stick with the problems we know than face the unknown.
I believe the ability to “smash the clock” is vital to one’s happiness. I don’t think you can experience the ultimate “highs” without opening yourself up the possibility of experiencing the lowest of “lows”. It’s the balance of it all.
A wise man once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” Sometimes you need to smash the clock and take responsibility for the outcome. We won’t always make the right choices, but as my friend, a high school football coach, always tells me “We learn a lot more from a loss.”
What do you think? Comments are appreciated.
