which I came across and I loved and I had to put it in the book and I want to share it because it's very short, but it's so poignant to what we're talking about.
So cows and bison are very similar in terms of their animal history.
Very, very similar.
They're cousins in the animal world, but they have a very, very different approach to how they weather storms.
and challenges that they might experience like a physical storm.
So cows have been observed to huddle together, usually under a tree, but also they generally walk away from the storm.
So they'll walk with the wind.
And then what happens is they end up receiving the brunt of the storm when the storm eventually catches up to them.
Bison, on the other hand, have been observed to walk towards a storm.
They walk into the wind, which counterintuitively means they generally pass the brunt of the storm.
They get through it much quicker.
So what is the insight that we learned from this?
Well, there are two mindsets.
There is the bison mindset where you see the bad thing, you acknowledge the bad thing, you approach the bad thing knowing that there's light on the other side.
Or the cow mindset.
You avoid the bad thing.
You run away from the bad thing.
You don't want to own up to the bad thing or take ownership over it.
You run away and then it'll just get worse and worse and worse.
Some people don't like the, you know, thinking of themselves as a cow.
