Digging Holes

John Maxwell is coming to Singapore to give a lecture. But the lecture is so expensive, so sigh, I have to be content just reading his books.

Today's reflection is a point he quoted from Denis Healy who made this comment when this question was raised.
Q: If you fall into a hole, what should you immediately do?
A: STOP DIGGING! THIS WILL MAKE THE HOLE DEEPER AND HARDER FOR YOU TO GET OUT.

Metaphorically, how many of us find ourselves falling into pits and holes of our own making? Once we fall, we so desperately find ourselves digging and clawing in order to find a way out.

I do not have the answer as to what is the best way to get ourselves out.

I for one, am guilty of giving excuses, or finding reasons that weakly justify my shortcomings, my forgetfulness and whatever. The more excuses I come up with, the worse things become sometimes.

What stands in the way?
Perhaps pride, greed, or simply because the truth hurts.
Yup...the truth hurts real bad...
