TIME TO BREAK YOUR GLASS CEILING

I am writing this post for me,for people like me who sometimes feel they can not make it,we sometimes feel that way ,do we?But it is all possible.Right now am in a dilemma ,am supposed to make a choice but i have that but....

Goldfish are said to have a shallow,forgetful minds.One scientist put two goldfish in a tank with a glass wall separating them in the middle.The fish often swam to the middle and hit their noses.Soon enough they recognized that there was a barrier,so they swam and stopped just short of hitting the wall.One day the scientist removed the glass wall and observed the fish,they never swam beyond the halfway point because they had trained their minds to recognize the wall,and even though it seemed invisible,they didn't realize the wall had gone.

It's often easier to blame other people for our misfortunes and limitations;we have invisible walls all over our lives.It's the job that we need to be secure in,it's the relationship we can't quit because 'what will the people say',or the friend we can't drop because they need us.Excuses and perceptions that we create all over our lives because we can't get beyond what we've conditioned our minds to do-underachieve.How many times have you told yourself,oh,i don't have the money,i can't start that business,it won't help anyway.Or,oh,I'm never going to find another guy who loves me as much as this one does-even with his faults when he treats me like a doormat.It's time we forget about the devil we know and find out whether there are angels we don't know existing out there.

How do you know that you live within invisible walls?Just listen to how you speak to how you speak to yourself,before you hear others.You'll figure out that you are the first one to bring yourself down;no one has to do it.For you have learned to undermine your abilities and limit yourself to the point your life is at currently.Darling,when they told you to grow roots,they didn't say you shouldn't spread your branches.

The people we think as overachievers are simply human like us,who just reach out and grab the next small or big opportunity that life hands them.They take the risk and reap the rewards.I a not saying everything you try will be rosy,but you will either learn a a lesson or be successful.Are you ready to break your own glass ceiling?Because i have already broken mine.

It's Nzisa.
