FLEAS

There was an interesting study done at a college where students put some fleas into a jar and sealed it with a lid. After several days of the fleas hitting themselves on the lid from trying to jump out of the jar the students notice something. The fleas began to jump only to a certain height, right under the lid. The students then removed the lid but here is the crazy part, the fleas would not jump past the point right underneath the where the lid use to be.

Wheather it was due to fear or the fact that the fleas had conformed to their surrondings, they lost their desire to escape from the jar. They got their eyes of the prize.

Now here's where we come into the picture. We can't allow the surroundings of this world to affect or distract or even discourage us from reaching our inmost desires. Our surrondings can include the high rising gas and food prices which i'm sure you all are aware of the amount of stress those two things can easily bring. We may not reach our dreams on the first couple of tries just as the fleas didn't escape the jar immediately but if you (we) can persevere past the lids that hold us back and not conform to what this world has to offer, there is no telling how far we can go!
