I love this story you have shared with all of us. Isn't it the truth that is it so easy to get caught up and protecting the fun that you end up missing out on it. I am so glad you are enjoying the wii! I love mine! Ariela,

Wonderful to hear from you again!

I love this story you have shared with all of us. Isn’t it the truth that is it so easy to get caught up and protecting the fun that you end up missing out on it.

I am so glad you are enjoying the wii! I love mine!

I love this story because I had one similar situation happened to me when I was 10. Burger King was just opening here in Costa Rica and the Ninja Turtles were the TV series of the moment for kids, I LOVE THEM!, so with their meals they would give you plastic bottles with the Ninja Turtles in it. When I finally got my bottle I was so excited, and wanted to use it all the time, but then again I didn't for fear that it would get ruined or even worse, that washing it constantly would make the picture dissapear! Years went on and I would barely use it, and now I don't even know what ever happened to the bottle; but then again, 20 years later it's not that important anymore. That's why last week when my new Nintendo Wii arrived, thinking it would be my birthday gift (which is until september) I just went ahead and opened it up and now i'm enjoying my console as if I was that 10 year old kid who was afraid her much appreciated bottle would get ruined. Thanks for your wonderful stories Michael! All the best! Hello Michael, it’s been a while since I commented last on your blog.

Fear is such a big anti-motivator! Fear of getting what we want, even... So weird. They say the perfect is the enemy of the good. Good post, thanks! :) So true! Fear is such a big anti-motivator!

Nonetheless it draws attention to use whatever we can - use it or lose it ;) Anyway, good luck with your new iPhone! :) the story with roller blades was also used in Home alone 2, when Kevin draws a parallel between him not using his skates and the lady in the park feeding pigeons not using her heart.
