On Sunday night 3 year old Lochlan McKenzie was playing outside near dusk and wandered away from his Vancouver Island home. Immediately a search party was mobilized and worked through the night into the next morning looking for the toddler. A story that very well could have ended in tragedy, instead inspires me to look to a resilient 3 year old for some solid life and career advise!
Lochlan was found 14 hours after wandering away from his home, under a bush eating berries. The toddler had wandered approximately 4 km into the darkness and was found unharmed, calm and well feed. Even though he had spent the night out in the dark forest alone Lochlan had miraculously managed to remain calm, find food and shelter until help arrived.
What can Lochlan McKenzie teach us? To be more like him!
