Put a goldfish in a bowl and you restrict its growth – you physically limit its potential. But put a goldfish in a pond and, depending on the number of other fish, it will grow in proportion to the size of its environment. The larger the pond the larger the fish. You see, in life everything strives to be all that it can be. It’s the law of nature to do so. Consider a sapling tree; how tall will it grow. The answer is, just about as tall as it possible can. And that’s the same for each one of us: We must not restrict our personal growth with limited thinking, rather we should continually be striving to maximise our potential and become all that we possibly can be.
