Last night the proud dad of my three year old nephew recounted my nephew’s “order” at their recent family BBQ.
When asked what he would like to eat, Patrick replied that he would like “20 sausages”, and then after thinking about it a bit more, he decided that no, he would like “all the sausages”.
But what would his Dad eat? Well, Patrick has a plan for that too. His Dad was allowed to eat “BBQ sauce”.
Of course, the story received a few giggles all round. It got me thinking though – a three year old has no imposed limits (self or otherwise). When Patrick thought he wanted “all” the sausages, that’s exactly what he asked for.
If you had no self imposed limits -what would you ask for? What would be “all the sausages” for you?
Thanks to Patrick for reminding me that three year olds, while they don’t always get “all the sausages”, are amazing because at least they ask for them!
Ask the world for something amazing today – and then take action to start making it happen. You may not get “all the sausages” but you’ll never know if you never ask!
