A Close Call in the Sky: Lessons on Resilience from a Near Disaster

Yesterday, I faced a terrifying situation that almost cost me and my six-year-old son our lives. It was a beautiful spring day, perfect for flying, or so it seemed. My son, who usually loves to fly, felt uneasy about the turbulence and asked to land. Listening to his instincts, I diverted to the nearest airport.

As I landed the plane, something went horribly wrong. Just as the plane touched down and I lowered the tail, I lost all control. The plane swerved violently to the right, veering off the runway. With grass and runway lights rushing towards us, I focused every ounce of my energy on regaining control and stopping the plane. It was the most harrowing few seconds of my life, but thankfully, I managed to stop the plane safely.

Shaken by the incident, I later discovered that a small 2-inch screw, crucial for holding the plane's tailwheel in place, had broken off upon touchdown. This small piece of metal nearly led to a fatal accident. It was a stark reminder of how something so small can have a massive impact.

What Does This Have To Do With You?

This incident parallels the dynamics of relationships. Like the screw in my plane, relationships can fatigue and break under stress if not maintained. They require attention and care to stay resilient. Without it, even the smallest issues can lead to significant problems.

Reflecting on this experience, I realized the importance of resilience not just in flying, but in relationships.
