Recently I listened to an interview with Jerry Seinfeld. At one point, he talked about his children, bowling, and how bumper guards don’t allow gutter balls. He asked the question (not verbatim): “Why do we prevent children from getting gutter balls; are we afraid they won’t survive the experience?”
1. Get Ready, Set Aim
Do what many professional athletes know and use --- practice in your own mind! By engaging all your five senses, you create a sensory rich experience that is as effective as actually engaging in the activity!
2. Gutter Balls Happen
You can use it as OMG! or as your inspiration.
3. Course Correct
What can you learn from what worked and what didn’t? Remember, both your mistakes and your successes are equally valuable and important.
4. Imitate Children
Have you ever watched young children at they play? They can have a lot of fun, can’t they? Children learn and experiment through play. How can you make your learning fun?
5. Be Like an Amish Quilt
When Amish women make quilts, they always include a mistake in their sewing. Most people don’t notice it; all they see is a beautiful quilt. They do this to remind themselves that God is the only being that doesn’t make mistakes. How freeing is that, to be perfectly human?
