Right now, it may seem as if we are poor Wile E. Coyote,
doomed to fail at every attempt to be successful. All the plans and preparations we have made for our careers and our future, our health and happiness, seem to
be blocked, sidetracked, or foiled, and the light at the end of the tunnel is
inevitably an oncoming train.
No matter what Wile E. attempts to do, he is always
ultimately ineffective and unsuccessful. His target, the Road Runner, is always
completely unscathed in the end and never truly gets disrupted by all of the
Coyote’s shenanigans.
What defeats Wile E. are the lack of logic, common sense, compassion, and dignity.
And the Road Runner always wins because he refuses to even acknowledge
the craziness caused by the Coyote.
No matter how it may seem, WE are not Wile E. Coyote.
We are, and must be, the Road Runner!
We must continue on our path, not be distracted by the insane
attempts to destroy us, and perhaps, even be the driver of that oncoming train and foil the plans of the Coyote.
