Perhaps you’ve heard this story?
Every Sunday morning, I listen to ‘The One You Feed’ podcast [along with a dharma talk by Tara Brach] in which the host, Eric Zimmer, interviews a current thought leader on how this parable works out in their life. The podcast was voted the best of 2014 by iTunes and perhaps you owe it to yourself to at least sample one episode.
You can find ‘The One You Feed’ podcast here.
Bright, shiny objects! 
Here’s a great short film (starring my son) that tells this story in a slightly different way. Let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1gfiKP5QAs
