IF YOU WANT CHANGE, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE

Here's a story I shared with my WW groups yesterday -

Two hunters got out of a small plane that dropped them off in a remote part of northern Canada where they were going to hunt moose for the weekend. The pilot left them there with all their gear, checking before he left what time he was to pick them up on Sunday afternoon.

The hunters had a great few days, shooting three moose and eagerly awaited the return of the plane so they could take their trophies home.

The pilot protested that there was no way his tiny plane could handle the hunters, their equipment and three moose, but they argued that was exactly the load they had when they left the previous year.

Against his better judgment he took everything on board. The plane taxied down the runway, but it soon became clear it could not take off with all its weight and it ran out of tarmac and crashed into a snowbank.

As the three men scrambled out of the wreckage, the disoriented pilot asked, 'Where am I?", to which a hunter replied, "This is exactly the same spot we crashed last year."

If you want to change, you have to change!
