In early 2014 I joined the “flock” of numerous who grew to become extremely addicted to Dong Ngyun’s notorious mobile game, Flappy Hen. A retro Second styled sport, with a flying chicken moving forward amongst oncoming sets of pipes, with an aim to keep away from colliding into them or dropping to the floor. Although the match was extremely simple to learn, it was not so easy to learn, triggering several to turn out to be easily addicted, which includes myself. I couldn’t get a higher rating past 5 and discovered I wasn’t in the minority. I also wasn’t the only 1 receiving far more and a lot more established to conquer their really lower “large” scores.

What was it that made this extremely straightforward game so challenging to defeat? I was clearly falling in the trap of Einstein’s definition of madness. Then, one lazy ‘relaxed’ day, out of nowhere, I am enjoying the sport as normal, however one thing extremely unusual occurred. My little flappy chicken just started out to fly seamlessly by way of the pipes like it was next character. Not only was I acquiring earlier my one digit score of two – 5 pipes, I was receiving earlier ten, then 20 and up to a surprising thirty!

What took place? What did I do differently? The reply was as easy as the game. I stopped hunting at the environmentally friendly pipes in entrance of me. All that time, the issue that was holding me and my hen back again, was my concentrate on the impediment that I needed to keep away from. The moment I shifted my gaze to the area I wanted to be, I was ready to navigate my hen past the pipes and listen to the beautiful bells of benefits reached.

What a metaphor for lifestyle this small match grew to become. I realized how accurate this is, in each aspect of life. Achieving our greatest aim is just a make a difference of shifting our gaze away from the quick interruptions and hurdles that we have a tendency to inherently gravitate toward. It isn’t really just important, but needed to focus on what we want, rather than what it is we will not want. Undoubtedly we have to admit the existence of difficulties, but we can’t fixate on them. We should seem far more for the open areas that are the options and chances bordering it.

I acquired much more than a respectable substantial score that working day. I was reminded that, no matter what location of daily life, the response to good results is locating that little space of possibility found among the difficult inexperienced pipes that arrives our way.
