Reflections (by Teresa Thomas-Carroll)
Folks from all walks of life need help. The most successful, whether they realize it or not, have had lots of assistance along the way. An author does much better with an editor. A parent can maintain more balance with plenty of support. A corporation president relies on a great staff to carry out the details. The bigger the load, the more wheels we need. Can you imagine the contents of a full semi-truck being carried by just one wheel? Think of the business owner, employee or parent who tries to do “everything” and hesitates to ask for help. Feels a little wobbly, doesn’t it? Now think of the ones who have support networks, be it business mentors, parenting groups or enough resources among friends, family and colleagues. The ride is a lot smoother. They can enjoy the view ahead and consider various paths. Because of their support, they can do all of this without having their eyes glued to the ground the whole way. The more wheels we have available the more manageable our load becomes. We can enjoy the ride and really go the distance. Use the Mini-Reflection Exercise to recognize the right type of wheels you need.

Think of an aspect to your work or personal life that is feeling a little wobbly. Using the metaphor consider: Do you have enough wheels? Too many? Do any of the wheels need to receive tuning or be replaced? Are the wheels big enough? Conversely, are any too big and taking over? What would be the perfect amount and type of support for you at this moment?

How
many unicyclists do you know? Of them, how many of them use their unicycles
exclusively to get where they need to go? Probably not many. Most of
us need at least two wheels to travel much distance. We need even more
when we’re learning to ride. Why should this be any different
in life?
