There is an ancient parable about a farmer
Who lost his horse
And neighbors came over to say
Oh that's too bad
And the farmer said
Good or bad hard to say
Days later
the horse returns
and brings with it seven wild horses
And neighbors come over to say
Oh that's so good
And the farmer just shrugs and says
Good or bad hard to say
The next day
the farmer's son rides one of the wild horses
is thrown off and breaks his leg
And the neighbors say
Oh that's terrible luck
And the farmer says
Good or bad hard to say
Eventually
officers come knocking on people's doors
looking for men to draft for an army
and they see the farmer's son
and his leg
and they pass him by
And neighbors say
oh that's great luck
And the farmer says
Good or bad hard to say
I first heard this story twenty years ago
and I have since applied it one hundred times
Didn't get the job I wanted
Good or bad hard to say
Got the job I wanted
Good or bad hard to say
To me
the story is not about looking on the bright side
or waiting to see how things turn out.
It's about
how eager we can be to label a situation
to put concrete around it
by judging it
but reality is much more fluid
and good and bad
are often incomplete stories
that we tell ourselves
The parable has been my warning
that by gripping tightly to the story of good or bad
I close down my ability
to truly see a situation
I learn more
when I perceive and loosen my grip
And proceed openly
with curiosity and wonder
To me
the story is not about looking on the bright side
or waiting to see how things turn out.
