Rule No.129 - Something to think about: If you fish the wrong fly long enough, it will sooner or later become the right fly.

When I go fly fishing, changing flies every so often is not unheard of. If the fish aren't biting, it must be the wrong fly. Obviously nothing to do with my skills, just the wrong fly.

If I really think about it, I do the same in the figurative sense too. If something isn't working for me, I throw that out and move onto something else, or somewhere else. When it comes to me making decisions about my life and things that relate to my wellbeing I'm incredibly impatient. Give me a fishing rod, or a classroom full of children and I have all the patience in the world. 

Maybe it's time for me to stick to the same fly, maybe move around the dam a little to find the best spot, but to not give up on my little fly that I so carefully chose in the beginning anyway. I chose that fly for a reason and unless I get it caught in a tree (as I have once, maybe twice), I'm going to wait for it to become my right fly. 

"If people concentrated on the really important things of life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles."
