Ten years ago, my wife and I adopted a pair of stray six month old cats who had been living on the lam since shortly after they were born. These cats were very untrusting and extremely cautious. The only way we were able to get them in the house was to offer them food as they were very hungry. Today, they’ve pretty much settled down but, whenever I open a door for them to come into or go out of the house, they don’t just walk through it, they dash through it. They must have learned during their six months on the lam that windows of opportunity don’t stay open very long and if you hesitate, you just might be out of luck. The same holds true for people. Windows of opportunity open for us all the time, but if we hesitate or procrastinate, they may close before we can take advantage of them. The key is to be ready to make that dash before they open.
kids and animals. You can always get good advice from watching kids – they know no boundaries, or fear, or negativity. They haven’t “learned” the things that bring us down. Their innocense is something we forget that we once had and I like to revisit that at times.
What you say is so true. We enslave ourselves to boundaries that are imaginary. What a shame. Thanks for the comment. Ross
