I heard a great story last fall at the Talent Connect conference. Joan goes to visit her friend Marcus to catch up on life. While sitting on the back patio, Joan notices that Marcus’ dog whimpers quietly every couple of minutes. After the third whimper, Joan asks Marcus what’s the matter with the dog. Marcus explains that he’s lying on a rusty nail and has been for months. It’s the dog’s favorite spot on the porch. Baffled, Joan asks why the dog wouldn’t just move off the nail. It’s a fairly big porch, after all. Marcus responds, “Well, I guess it just doesn’t hurt enough.” Bear with me, fellow dog lovers, this is just an analogy.
