When the door opens will you walk through it Most people think they are stuck. But they are not stuck. They are simply house cats who have never seen the outside world. A house cat is not weak. It is not incapable. It just believes its four walls are the whole universe. And when the door finally opens, it panics. Not because the world is dangerous, but because it is unfamiliar. This is how most adults were raised. Emotional cages. Survival focused systems. Taught to stay safe, avoid risk, keep within the walls they know. Prepared for survival, not expansion. So when life offers something bigger, they freeze. Not because they do not want growth, but because they have never been shown how to see beyond their current reality. Joseph Campbell once said, The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. And he was right. The fear is rarely about danger. It is about unfamiliarity. Wayne Dyer put it another way, If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Your world expands the moment your perspective expands. Because your current reality is not the whole world. It is just the room you grew up in. There is more outside. More opportunity. More potential. And it only looks scary because it is new. So the real question is simple. Are you a house cat or a wild cat? Are you clinging to the comfort of your four walls, or are you ready to explore the territory that was always meant to be yours? Are you living small because it feels safe, or expanding because that is who you truly are? Your soul was never designed for confinement. It was built for discovery. It was built for depth, adventure, and possibility. It was built to roam. Earl Nightingale said, Most people tiptoe through life hoping to make it safely to death. Do not let that be your story. Open the door. Step into the unknown. Get comfortable with the discomfort. There is more of you waiting on the other side.
