The other day I lost my cell phone while out on a walk with my dog. I told my wife I would be back soon when I left the house with our chihuahua. The weather was perfect so I decided to turn the short walk into a mini work-out. I removed my shirt and started running, sideways and backwards. Once I hit the open fields, I bent down to remove Roxy's leash. Towards the end of the jaunt, I realized my phone fell out of my shorts. My wife was worried I was MIA, so she called me repeatedly. After spending an hour searching for the phone, I decided to enlist my wife and son in the search for the phone.
I offered my son a reward and he was determined to find the phone first. During the search, I thought about all my contacts that would be lost. I visualized the phone getting chopped up in a riding mower as the three of us combed the fields. What a relief when my son held up the phone. I was so happy I doubled his reward.
Sometimes, all that is needed when you are experiencing a challenge, is to bring in a fresh set of eyes. Have you ever experienced a situation where a fresh set of eyes solved the problem? Your comments are appreciated.
