What If....


Dear automotive friends and colleagues,

We are in life-changing times. The challenges that we are going through in our industry and in our world have never been experienced to this degree before. Our perceptions, therefore, should not be colored by what we think will happen. The truth is, we really don’t know.

Our attitude plays a vital role in how we experience things. No one gets through life without disappointments but next time an incident occurs that at first glance appears to be an “oh no” experience, what if you adopted the BIG picture?

Here's an example: One day in late summer a farmer was working in his field with his old sick horse. The farmer felt compassion for the horse and so he let him loose to go into the mountains to live out the rest of his life.

Soon after, neighbors from the nearby village visited, offered their condolences and said, "What a shame. Now your only horse is gone. How will you live, work the land, and prosper?" The farmer replied, "Who knows? We shall see."

Two weeks later the old horse came back rejuvenated after meandering in the mountains while eating the wild grasses. He came back leading twelve young and healthy horses.

Word got out in the village of the old farmer's good fortune and it wasn't long before people stopped by to congratulate the farmer on his good luck. "How fortunate you are," they exclaimed. "You must be very happy!" Again, the farmer softly said, "Who knows? We shall see."

At daybreak a few mornings later, the farmer's only son set off to train the new wild horses but was thrown to the ground and broke his leg. One by one villagers arrived during the day to bemoan the farmer's latest misfortune. "Oh, what a tragedy! Your son won't be able to help you farm with a broken leg. You'll have to do all the work yourself, How will you survive? You must be very sad."

Calmly going about his business the farmer answered, "Who knows? We shall see."

Several days later a war broke out. The Emperor's men arrived in the village demanding that young men come with them to be conscripted into the army. As it happened the farmer's son was deemed unfit because of his broken leg. "What very good fortune you have," the villagers exclaimed as their own young sons were marched away. "You must be very happy."

"Who knows? We shall see," replied the old farmer as he headed off to work his field alone.

As it turned out the other young village boys died in the war and the old farmer and his son were the only able bodied men capable of working the village lands. The old farmer became wealthy and was very generous to the villagers. They said: "Oh how fortunate we are. We are very happy," to which the old farmer replied, "Who knows? We shall see."

This story serves to remind us that what we think is the final outcome, is, in fact, only one chapter in a long series of events. We tend to judge our experiences as good or bad without that little “we’ll see” pause that allows for an expanded view of things.

When we view everything with a “we’ll see” attitude, a particular outcome is not expected and we open up to the possibility of many options—many ways of seeing things. We open up to the BIG picture. Bitterness, doubt and judgment only narrow the view.

Let’s anticipate. Let’s begin each day with, hmmm…we’ll see…and just see what happens.

Have a story on how the BIG picture has allowed you to move beyond the here and now? Let's hear it! As always, these newsletters are all about helping one another. Know someone who might be interested in this newsletter? Please pass it on!

Spring is coming!
