of fleas and elephants

To train fleas to only jump to a certain height they put them in a jar with a lid. After a few days of hitting their heads on the lid you can take off the lid and they won't jump out of the jar.

To train elephants to stay in a certain area they chain them to a post when they are young. After a certain age they can take off the chain and the elephant will never try to go farther than that.

What mindless restraints are on your life? How far in the direction you choose can you really go?

i try to make my life a search for growth. i want to surround myself with the people that will grow me closest to God.

.

i don't want to be afraid to ask the tough questions. although, i tend to be left with a lot unanswered. the only two questions in life that i've answered for sure are: who is my God? and what should i do with my life?

i believe we all have an individual purpose for being on earth and i want to try to do the most with what i've been given to accomplish mine.
