I've tossed in the towel after a stumbling block many times before. Wonderful real-life metaphor that we can all relate to. Sidebar = last week after a little precarious driving, I blew a tire. Changed it myself (whew!) only to have my battery die b/c I had the headlights on so I could see. Called AAA to give me a jump, went on my way. On the way home, blew a 2nd tire. (augh!) Still made it home in time to meet a client and did NOT give up! I know I’m a little late here in responding, but what a fabulous post.

Love the imagery... I started working on my black-or-white thinking years ago, and my therapist actually wore grey suits to our sessions a few times so she could just point to herself when I got going. Made me laugh, and made me see more clearly, too -- just like your post :) This was wonderful!

Thanks. I'm going to see if I can use this metaphor to help my daughter understand why one small thing doesn't need to ruin her day. (She's prone to drama and an all or nothing attitude) Thanks!

I love stories like this one that point out how ridiculous some of our ingrained habits are. I have to admit, I've given in to extreme all-or-nothing behavior. I've never thought of it that way until now. Thanks! Hi Christine!

So many people in my line of work (and one coach I spoke with recently who didn't realize that not listening to potential clients made me decide to not hire her) want to tell me how I think, what I want and feel (without input from me). When you've been driving down the WRONG road, though, maybe abandoning the car isn't the wrong thing to do?

There times when it's hard to keep sight of the end goal when there seems to be so much interference on the way to achieving it. Run the interference, keep the goal in mind as the incentive to do so.
