Go To The Corners

Go To The Corners

I was walking Frankie in a rectangular field the other day, where many others walk.

?

A clear path has formed what I noticed is that it does not go into the corners – all the corners are cut.

?

Cutting corners comes easily to us, but it’s not always to our benefit, for example:

?

  • Shaving a few yards off the dog walk – no one is likely to come a cropper.
  • Not getting a full survey on a house purchase – could be trouble and it could be costly.

?

In the moment cutting corners seems reasonable – get back sooner because it’s another busy day or save a few quid because the new place needs money spent elsewhere.

?

But what if we had gone to the corners? We would experience and know something different.

?

A fitter dog and a fitter you, the certain knowledge all’s ok with the house you love or that you need to walk because you could come to hate it.

?

Going to the corners can often be to our advantage.

?

Food for thought isn’t it?
