Tourist Trap and Life Trap

 

 

 

This artwork has been in my office for almost 10 years. 

It’s called “Tourist Trap” by Thomas Barbey.  

Every time I get stuck or need to clear my head I look at it. 

I feel that whatever is currently holding me back, will never be as bad as this humongous tree blocking the road.  

It puts into perspective whatever my issue is and minimizes it. This usually leads to a solution to get through it. 

In financial planning terms, you might feel you have humongous obstacles of your own to get through before you reach success.  

In this piece, these people figured out how to get through the tree. Who knows how long it took them, but they did it and you will too.  Stay at it!
