"Stubbornness Can Block Good Solutions" Episode 62
"Hey there, my fur-tastic friends! Welcome back to The Monkey the Cat Podcast! I’m Monkey, your favorite talking cat—and today’s lesson is a little tricky, because it’s something even I had to learn the hard way.
Our lesson today? Stubbornness can block good solutions.
Sometimes, when we’re really set on doing things our way, we forget that there might be an easier, smarter, or kinder way waiting for us—if we’re just willing to listen."

"Hey there, my fur-tastic friends! Welcome back to The Monkey the Cat Podcast! I’m Monkey, your favorite talking cat—and today’s lesson is a little tricky, because it’s something even I had to learn the hard way. Our lesson today? Stubbornness can block good solutions. Sometimes, when we’re really set on doing things our way, we forget that there might be an easier, smarter, or kinder way waiting for us—if we’re just willing to listen.""Let me tell you what happened. We were building a bridge for our backyard critter course. A real, working bridge over the stream by the big oak tree. I had a plan. Wood planks, tied with vines, anchored with rocks. I was sure it would work. Brooklyn, Teddy, and Olivff offered other ideas—lighter materials, wider footing, maybe even a pulley system. But I shook my head.'Nope. My way’s better.' I tied the vines. Stacked the rocks. Walked proudly across… And splash! I fell right into the stream. Cold. Wet. Embarrassed.""Teddy helped me out. Brooklyn handed me a towel. Olivff quietly handed me her sketched blueprint. And that’s when it clicked: My friends weren’t trying to take over. They were trying to help. I had been too stubborn to see it. So we started again—together this time. Their ideas made the bridge stronger, safer, and way more fun. That’s when I realized: Stubbornness doesn’t mean strength—it sometimes blocks the best answers. Listening and being open? That’s how we build real solutions.""So here’s my challenge for YOU: This week, if you feel stuck, ask: Am I being open? Or just stubborn? Try listening to someone else’s idea. You might be surprised at how good the solution turns out. Thanks for tuning in to The Monkey the Cat Podcast! Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and remember—letting go of stubbornness lets in better ideas. Until next time—**stay flexible, stay curious, and build bridges—not just your way, but together. Bye for now!"
