Tell The Bumble Bee
 Over
there. Can you hear it? Over by the window, up against the
glass. That fat buzzing thing, all noise and whirring wings:
the bumble bee, trapped in a hot room on a sunny day.
You have, it seems to me, four options. You
could ignore it, you could squish it (why would you do that?)
or you could just open the window and watch Mr Bumble buzz
away to freedom. That's three options. Option four? Step close,
look at it. I mean it. Go on - really, really look at it.
OK - what do you see? You see tiny wings and
a big fat body. No two ways about it - sleek, lightweight
and streamlined this busy guy ain't. And, as scientists will
tell you, Mr Bumble's weight to lift ratios are all wrong.
There is just no way, say the scientists that, Mr Bumble Bee
can fly (Antoine Magnan 1934 1).
Except that, no-one has told Mr Bumble Bee.
And so he flies. (Now let him go).
We believe very strongly that we all have the
ability to do amazing things.
So… what often stops us?
Other people's opinion that we can't, coupled
to a lack of self-belief and self-confidence that gives room
to a little voice, up there in our brains, that whispers “I
can't. That I am unable, incapable, doomed to failure (how
I hate that word!).
 It
whispers we're not strong enough, not fast enough, not fit
enough, not attractive enough. And you know what? If we listen
to that little voice often enough, we start to believe it,
get dragged down into the world of grey, gloomy-faced Eeyores
to whom the glass of life is always not just half-empty but
dirty, cracked and leaking, to boot.
Been there. Done that.
But the Bumble Bee never told itself
that it couldn't fly.
