The Way I See It
The Height of a Kite
One sunny day, a mother and her son were outside flying a
kite. The son loved watching the kite glide through the sky and cheered as it
flew higher and higher. Eventually, the kite reached the end of its string and
could not go any higher. After pleading with his mom to break the string, she
finally agreed and cut the string to release the kite. Shortly after, a gust of
wind made the kite spiral uncontrollably, and it crashed to the ground.
As the son looked very sad and disappointed, the mother
explained, “Just like the kite, we may reach a certain level in life and feel
like things may be holding us back, such as friends, family, or rules. We feel
the desire to become free from those strings, but it’s important to remember
that those strings will help us remain stable and fly higher than we can
without them.”
Here’s the way I see it: Dan Pearce once said it best, “Who
do you want to surround yourself with? People who can pull you up to their
level of greatness? Or people who will happily pull you down to theirs?”
Nice information!!!!
