Last week David shared about an ad he remembered from his years as a teen with the tagline, “That’s like trying to haul two tons of fertilizer in a one-ton truck.” The main focus of my post was to show that we often try to put too much activity into our home life, and what we are left with is a lot of “fertilizer” falling all over us. This week Marisa and David would like to look at how this plays out in our work life.

“That’s like trying to haul two tons of fertilizer in a one-ton truck,” David remembered this tag line from an ad that ran when he was in his teens.

In this week’s post, David wrote about an experience he had looking at a picture from a different angle. Marisa and David discuss how changing our perspective on situations can dramatically change those situations.
