USE THE BUMPER RAILS!

In bowling, bumper rails were designed to keep balls from going into the gutter. Gutter typically denotes something bad, something that you want to avoid. What in life are you trying to avoid or steer from? Those are your gutters. Use the bumper rails for those things that might cause you to veer off track and go in any other direction than what you’re aiming for. Bumper rails are symbolic for strategies, interventions, and/or tools. It won’t always be strikes, but we can certainly avoid the gutter!
