Hello Readers,
I will never forget a demonstration
I witnessed with an elephant being held to a teeny tiny steel rod in the
ground. The elephant was trained to stay in the position he was in and he could
only move in the direction his trainer told him to move. The strange thing I
noticed was the elephant needed permission to move beyond where he was allowed.
The even stranger thing was (yes I said stranger) was the elephant had the
capacity and strength to pull the steel rod out the ground but did not. This
story about the elephant reminds me of a quote I recently read by Harriet
Tubman “I have freed hundreds of slaves; I would have freed more if they would
have known they were slaves.” When I first read this quote I was stuck in my
seat. I thought to myself how many people out there in the world are waiting for
someone to lead and tell them it is okay to pursue their dreams? Are you one of
those people? Are you waiting on permission? If you are, STOP IT! Go live your
life. No one is coming to give you permission to be great, so just be great. Write the first paragraph to the book, write the first line to the song, take the first class to learn about a field you are interested in... JUST DO IT!
