60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: How Might Wile E. Coyote Be Your Role Model?

60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: How Might Wile E. Coyote Be Your Role Model? 2:36

Hello to you listening in Rome, Italy!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

One of the most persistently imaginative cartoon characters is Wile E. Coyote. Why? Because he never fails twice in the same way. He keeps coming up with wild, crazy, inane ways to use those ACME products so he can catch Road Runner.

That’s why we watch. What will Wile E. Coyote do next? That he never catches Road Runner isn’t the point. The point is that he persists.

Do we really want Coyote to catch Road Runner? No. Because as the song goes: “Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through.” And that would be the end of all those wonderful cartoons.

Practical Tip: Never underestimate the power of your imaginatively persistent efforts. If someone out there disses them as bad or wrong, well then, you can say: Beep. Beep.

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
