A spanner in the works

Sometimes life runs smoothly.

You are in the groove.

Things click along.

Then…

A little thing goes wrong and the proverbial spanner is in the works.

That is when the 80/20 rule clicks into play and you wind up spending 80% of your time working on 20% of your issues.

I was reminded of this today when a) my internet went down for a while and then came back up and b) I received this video clip:

I understand that is whole thing is just physics… no special effects or computer generation.  It took hundreds of takes to get it right.

This is sort of how I imagine the lives of parents with a bunch of young children.

Keep at it folks!

In this case, the spanner in the works was a necessary component.

Our obstacles can be advantages which, eventually, make everything work out in the end.
