Sometimes we get so stuck in our little boxes of thought that it’s difficult to see the solution to our problems even when it is obvious to everyone else. This happened recently with a friend of mine who was trying to decide what she was going to do with her spring break vacation.

She had been offered the opportunity to travel to Miami with some friends for the entire break. They had a place on the beach and they were going to let her stay there really cheap so it was going to be an affordable vacation in a place that she had always wanted to spend some time.

However, she had been planning on taking several swimming classes to get ready for a big swim competition that she’s doing this summer. She kept struggling over what to do with her vacation. Every time I talked with her it was this big debate about swimming classes or Miami. Should I do swimming lessons or Miami? Should I spend spring break at swimming schools or Miami?

I tried to let her puzzle through this herself but finally I just couldn’t take it anymore. I asked her why she didn’t just take some swimming lessons while she was in Miami. A light bulb came on over her head and the conversations came to a halt. She gets back in a few days and I can’t wait to hear how her trip was.
