Anvils Keep Falling on Your Head?

Maybe you are the star of your own cartoon!

Meep! Meep!

Many of us grew up watching the Coyote and RoadRunner Show every Saturday morning.

(Remember the Roadrunner song?)

Every Saturday, you saw the hapless Coyote toying with some "Acme Manufacturing" contraption he figured could help him catch the RoadRunner.

Every Saturday, you saw rocks falling off a mountain flattening him. Or the rocky ledge cracking underneath his feet. Or the dynamite blowing up in the Coyote's hands.

Every Saturday, you saw the RoadRunner kicking Coyote ass. Usually without lifting a finger…err wing.

As predictable as the outcome was, even to a six-year-old, Wile never caught the RoadRunner. No matter what the scheme might be, it always ended up with the Coyote battered, blackened and bruised.

And, with the RoadRunner "Meep Meeping" and tearing off into the horizon.

We all have a little of the Coyote in us.

We all have tired, failing patterns that we repeat over and over.

Business patterns.

Relationship patterns.

Financial patterns.

Health patterns.

We continuously look for the hack from Acme, hoping it will help us succeed, win the girl/guy, become millionaires, or have abundant health.

Just to catch our own RoadRunner.

Meep! Meep!

We then we go on to repeat the same mistakes.

Whatever your Wile E Coyote pattern is, figure it out.

Look at your wins to identify winning patterns. Repeat those.

Look to your fails and look for the cartoon patterns.

No. Seriously.

Look at your fails.

Find the common fail pattern.

And then create questions or nudges for yourself that help you ask:

“Have I been here before? The last time I strapped the rocket to my back with roller skates on, I ran into a cliff wall. Is this a RoadRunner moment?”

Maybe, you will catch your RoadRunner this time.

If you don’t…there is always another Saturday and always another anvil falling with your name on it.

Be Steadfast!
