The Knot

Can you remember the first time you saw a knot in your shoe laces? You pulled on them, believing the knot would come undone. Harder and harder you pulled, tighter and tighter the knot became.

You learned later that was "not the way to go". What you learned by watching an adult, that gently rolling the knot back and forth, back and forth-that it would eventually loosen up. It mad no sense at first, but it worked.

Every once and awhile, you would forget this technique, or in a fit of frustration, you would go back to that violent pulling.

Life's problems sometimes need a different perspective and a rolling back and forth ideas-gently. Don't forget about the time you pulled so hard you had to cut the shoe laces!
