Only Sky is The Limit


My Grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set limits on what I could achieve. She truly believed that there were no limits that you could achieve whatever you wanted.


A farmer won a first prize at the country fair for his huge radish that was the exact shape and size of a quart of milk bottle.

Many were curious as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.

Finally one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied, "It was easy. I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had nowhere else to go."

You can use this story as an analogy to life - our lives are shaped by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to influence us, and the goals we give ourselves.

If we only dream and take no action then we get no further. But if we plan, set a goal and take action then our life takes a different shape.

Don't limit yourself; don't put yourself in a bottle. Or in other words move out of what is comfortable and secure if you want to move forward.
