A long grasshopper is confined in a box. One day he managed to get out of the box that locked him up, happily jumping up and down enjoying his freedom.
On the way he met other locusts, but he wondered why the grasshopper could jump higher and farther from him.
Curiously he asked,
"Why can you jump higher and farther than me, when we are not much different from age or body size?" The grasshopper answered with a question,
"Where have you been? All the grasshoppers living in the wild can certainly do as I do. "
The grasshopper just realized that this was the box that had made his leap not so far and as high as the other grasshoppers living in the wild.
Often we as human beings, unknowingly, have also experienced the same thing with the locust. Poor environments, insults, past traumas, successive failures, friend words, traditions, and all that keeps us imprisoned in pseudo-boxes that discourage our potential.
Often do we believe in what they convict us without thinking in that whether it is true or are we really so weak? Worse yet, we often prefer to trust them rather than trust ourselves.
Did you know that a very powerful elephant can be tied only with a rope attached to a small stake? The elephant will already feel that he can not be free if there is a "something" that ties his legs, but "something" that could be just a small rope ...
As humans we are able to fight, not giving up on what we experience. Therefore, keep trying to achieve all the positive aspirations we want to achieve. Sick indeed, tired indeed, but if we had reached the top, all the sacrifices would have paid off. Basically, our lives will be better if we live in a way of life of our own choice, not in the way that other people choose for us.
