Do
You Live In A Jar? Copyright
© Jan Tincher - All Rights reserved If you put a grasshopper in a jar and put a lid on the jar, the grasshopper will still try to jump out. He will only try, though, until he realizes he can’t, and then he will stop. Smart grasshopper, you say? . . . A couple days later, if you take the lid off, he still won’t jump. Why? Because he *knows* he can’t get out. It’s the same way with a baby elephant chained to a stump. When the baby elephant is little, it can’t pull the chain loose. Later, when it is very big, it can. But it won’t. Why? Because it *knows* it can’t. Both the grasshopper and the elephant are wrong, aren’t they? What is it in your life that YOU might be wrong about or feel you are chained to? What’s happening in your life? Is the lid off and you don’t even know it? When you were little, you may have said to yourself *I can’t do it* when it came to reaching for things, riding a bike, running fast, etc. But now you are older. You can do all those things, and more. But what about all those OTHER things you told yourself you couldn’t do when you were younger? Maybe you didn’t think you could learn, didn’t think you could be strong, didn’t think your opinion mattered, whatever. But now do you realize that you CAN learn, you CAN be strong, your opinion DOES matter? What is still in your life that you think you *can’t* do? Check it out thoroughly. Are you still right and really can’t do it? Or do you realize there is a possibility that you could be wrong? That you could have been wrong all these years. That now you CAN do it. Why not take a look at everything you do in your life right now. What is happening? Are your eyes opening wider? Some of the things you are saying to yourself don’t really apply anymore, like they did when you were little, do they? So why are you saying them? Look at all those poor grasshoppers stuck in a jar. They won’t even try to get out. Do you want to be like them for the rest of your life? Why not try something different every day? You may succeed at some, you may not succeed at some. Learn to say *Ooooooh, what the heck? There are new things happening every day. I’ll just go on with my life and find the things that do work for me.* I’ll bet that in no time you’ll find a new way to look at things and new ways to succeed. Take the lid off. Live life, love life, succeed through striving, not fail through retreating into old habits. Thank you for reading. Jan P.S.
