What am I talking about? Simply this: we are all fragile, every one of us. We all encounter challenges and tensions. We all deal with financial pressures and emotional strains. And sometimes we fail.
We have to remember our frailty as human beings and exercise caution in what we expect from ourselves and others. Sometimes we expect our partner or ourselves to be perfect, but we are all ‘crackable' under pressure. So it is important to have people and mechanisms in our lives that remind us that we are human, that keep us accountable and help us release tension... otherwise we're headed for a mighty great fall.
Former world boxing champion Mohammed Ali once boarded a plane and was asked by a flight attendant to fasten his seat belt. Ali said, ‘Superman don't need no seat belt.' To which the attendant replied, ‘Superman don't need no airplane either.' All of us at some point can believe we are Superman or Superwoman. But in fact, like Humpty Dumpty, we are ‘crackable'.
What area of your life is starting to show cracks? What reserves are you putting in your tank right now to help you in ...
... the long haul? Are you determined that even if you do crack under pressure that you will bounce back better, stronger, smarter?
In his interview with Australian television program, Australian Story, Wayne Bennett, the great coach for Australian rugby league club, the Brisbane Broncos, said, 'My life has been adversity. But from each disaster I have come back stronger. I don't fear what is happening, I know how to battle through it. I know my family and I will come out the other side. It is just a matter of when and knowing we will be better for it. We will be stronger people and we will appreciate winning more than we ever have in the past.' That was just after his team had lost seven and drawn one of their first nine games in the1999 rugby league season.
Challenge
I have learned that it doesn't matter who wants you to bounce back, it's whether you want to bounce back. It's whether you want to piece your life together again. Everybody's good intentions are irrelevant. The issue is, are you willing to piece your life together again and move on?
Are you determined that Humpty Dumpty will bounce back, and not splatter on the ground? I often wondered why all the kings' horses and all the kings' men couldn't put Humpty together again. It's because they weren't meant to. He was meant to. He was meant to piece his own life together again, and so are you.
