I'm living in a fish bowl eight hours a day, gazing out wishing for an escape. Frustrated because I keep bumping my head against the same glass wall. Not once grasping the concept that if I just change direction by swimming upward that I might actually catch an outgoing wave.
I left the plant life over 11 years ago riding on the wave of chance, leaving a good paying job in search of more. I've had some fairly decent salaries along the way and others not so good, but one thing remains. I'm still living in that fish bowl.
Going in circles has become a routine, pausing only long enough to remind myself that life can be lived outside the bowl if only I come up for air. The wave of fear reminds me that if I don't continue to live in that confused state of dizzy I might FOCUS long enough on the distance ahead and forget about the bowl.
Why not take a portion of that effort and start swimming towards your own dreams, you will find that crossing the ocean to reach your goals is a lot less exhausting than swimming circles day after day to make someone else's dreams come true.
I can't swim, but if I drown it will be because I finally took the chance on living outside the bowl for ME!!!!
