Today’s TV shows don’t compare to “old-school” TV shows.  If you were to search the gazillion cable channels, what you will find are reality shows depicting sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Growing up, one of my favorite “old school” TV shows was the Lone Ranger.  He was a fictional character, a masked ex-Texas Ranger who, with his Native American companion, Tonto, fights injustice in the American Old West.  Although I loved the show, I was somewhat puzzled by the show’s title – The Lone Ranger.  He wasn’t alone he had Tonto.

Go figure.

If the Lone Ranger had Tonto assisting him, why do most people try to figure out life’s problems on their own?  Why do some insist on taking the “Lone Ranger” approach to solving life’s most difficult challenges?  Since life’s filled with many twists and turns, it’s wise to recruit other wise people to help you conquer life’s challenges.

Wise People Never Attack Difficult Problems Alone

One of the greatest resources we have is the people God places in our lives.  If you ask around, I’d be willing to suggest that someone in your circle has “been there, done that.”  I can’t imagine going after a problem without the advice of the wise men & women God has placed around me.  The next time you’re faced with a difficult problem, don’t attempt to solve it alone.  Instead, ask: “Who can I recruit to help me solve this problem.

Who’s your Tonto?
