Thanks to my colleague, @TracieGCain for sharing....
I LOVE this!! It
goes hand in hand with the Robert Ballard explanation about innovators beating
your head against the wall.
The typical person/educator recognizes that the brick
wall is a barrier and follows expected behavior.
It also explains why it is exhausting to do the work we
do and why we are perceived as "rule-breakers".
It's NOT that we break the rules (most of the time), it
is that we see a goal, a land of milk & honey on the other side of the
brick wall.
We believe that if we push, sell, cheer, model, coach,
cajole, take over, etc. enough....that the brick wall will move.
I believe it moves....one degree at a time.
As Tracie will tell you, one degree makes a HUGE
difference!!
Water is water at 211⁰ but becomes steam at 212⁰.
That is great if you start at 211⁰, but in most cases, we
are starting at room temperature.
So what’s our response?
Do we just accept it? Sorry
girls! Not in our nature.
As Robert Ballard explained….we do “it” because of who we
are. It’s who He built us to be.
And, I believe the wall will move…..of course, we’ll
discover a new one…for that is our nature….
