Never ask your husband to get the oil changed! (Part 2)
Kathy returned from Europe a couple weeks later and found herself without a car and talking with the police.
"Ma'am, after investigating we've discovered that your car had been wrecked and was put back together with stolen parts and then sold to a dealer. Did you ever have any problems with the vehicle?" the officer asked.
"I bought it from a car dealer three years ago. It was the most beautiful red and white Blazer that I had ever seen. I bought it immediately! I never had the car checked out. I do remember hearing a rubbing noise under the hood early on, but I never paid much attention to it. It usually went away after I started going over 50 miles an hour."
Lenny has observed humans and has noticed that sometimes people don't pay attention to the signs and symptoms that something may be wrong in their life. Often times they are going so fast that they never slow down, never look "under their hood," or question what might not be right. So many times they disregard the warning signs and consequences follow. For Kathy, she ended up having to go buy another car and now was strapped with making two car payments and being in a huge legal fight with the car dealer.
Lenny's Challenge: Take 60 seconds and ask yourself, "What warning signs are going off in my life right now? Do I have any red flags (or noises) that I have been disregarding? At work? At home? Am I travelling so fast every day that I don't stop and look under the hood of my own life? What consequences might occur if I don't address them?" What is something you can do today to slow down and pay attention to those signals before it's too late?
