Imagine you are a fish.
The fins, the scales, the bulgy eyes.
Spending your life in water. Gliding through plants and rocks. Turning around to glide back through the same plants and rocks again and again and again.
You’re inside a fish tank. What’s in it? Plastic plants or real ones? Is there a treasure chest or a ceramic castle you can swim through?
What size is your tank? Is it one of those round little fish bowls or is it a massive tank filled with gallons of water?
Now, step back for a moment.
You are not a fish.
There are no glass walls that allow you to see out, but keep you in.
There is nothing confining you or defining the limits of your life.
Or is there?
What limits have you put on yourself? What limits have you allowed others to put on your life?Who told you that you couldn’t go there or do that? Who did you allow to put you in a fish tank?
You are not a fish.
