Policeman On The Roof

Imagine...

You are visiting a house on a business call and, just after ringing the bell, the window on your left explodes outwards in a shower of twinkling glass.

And there, dead centre of the explosion, is a set of bared teeth protruding from the open jaws of an angry looking, muscular dog.

And they're rocketing directly toward your face...

And, no, this is not a trick question.

It actually happened to a young policeman in South Africa. He was paying a visit to my ex father in law, Pieter, to record a statement on a burglary he had reported.

Pieter was relaxing in the lounge, watching a Rugby match, & Senta, their dog, was fast asleep on his youngest daughter's bed when the bell started jingling away.

And, rudely awakened she was off the bed and into the passageway in a flash.

With a carpeted floor underneath she was able to get up a good head of steam before hitting a 90 degree bend onto the tiled floor in the lounge.

Hearing the commotion, Pieter rushed outside to try and warn whoever was causing the disturbance.

As Pieter was rushing outside, Senta was exiting the turn...

Her legs were spinning and her rear was sliding outward like a stock car at the racetrack. As she regained her grip she straightened up and hurtled furiously down the length of the lounge toward the window to see who had dared interrupt her slumber.

But…

She was traveling so fast she couldn’t stop and, before Pieter could utter a word to the caller outside, she rocketed straight through the glass...

He said: "I was about to speak when there was a mighty crashing noise as Senta exploded through the window."

Instantly, time took on a different meaning.

Almost everything started happening as slowly as a three legged tortoise ambles down the road.

Bits of glass were twinkling in the sunlight as they floated lazily down to the ground and…

Senta, that bare-toothed missile from hell seemed to be taking forever to cover the miserly 3ft to the policeman’s head.

Pieter was stunned.

"The amazing thing”, he said afterwards, “was that one moment the policeman was there, the next he had vanished. I didn’t even see him move…

Then, before the first shards of glass had drifted to the ground, Pieter saw him nervously ensconced on his car roof several yards away.

Somehow

The policeman had simply taken one herculean leap & was out of harms way, warily watching out from the roof of his car.

How the heck he'd moved so quickly and traversed 12 - 15 feet in one bound when everything else was happening so slowly, Pieter could not explain.

It was a 'miracle'...

And Senta?

Well she took in the scene as she hit the ground then wagged her tail and, with a smirk on her face, casually sauntered off to resume her slumber.

She'd made her point so there was no use in expending any more energy.

Now, what allowed the policeman to make such a record breaking leap?

Certainly fear & adrenaline played a large part in it, they were the catalyst.

But the fact is we all have the most astonishing resources locked inside of us. When unlocked and put into full use they allow us to achieve the most remarkable things.

We just need the right trigger, that is all.

The thing is though, it is often smothered and locked away by the doubts about our worth and other limiting beliefs we've taken to heart throughout our life.

Unconsciously, we've made these negative beliefs our reality, but they do not have to stay that way... We can recalibrate the way we think about ourselves and abilities.

And, that's a wonderful thing 😁

Think about what joy and fullfilment you will achieve once you let go of any limiting beliefs or doubts about your capabilities...

My purpose is to help people let go of their limiting beliefs and ramp up their confidence & feelings of self-worth so they can become all they can be.

I'd love to help you do that...

I'm looking forward to exploring the possibilities that exist for you.
