An Excerpt From My Book.
Have A Read.
Then Sit With It.
Supporting or exploiting?
Helping or controlling?
The line between them so thin it was almost invisible.
He saw the conditioning. The prisons without bars.
Fleas in a jar. The lid on for days. They learned not to jump higher than the lid. And when the lid was removed, they still wouldn’t jump. Their children wouldn’t jump. The invisible barrier remained. Conditioning so complete it passed through generations.
Baby elephants chained to stakes. They pulled and pulled but couldn’t break free. And when they grew into adults, strong enough to uproot trees, they still wouldn’t try. The same thin rope. The same small stake. The same learned helplessness.
Pike fish and glass partitions. Hunting minnows until they hit the glass. Again and again. Until they stopped trying. And when the glass was removed, they starved in a tank full of food. The barrier that wasn’t there anymore. Still there in their minds.
He understood then. The most effective cages had no bars. The most complete conditioning left no awareness of the conditioning. People plugged themselves back into the system because they didn’t know there was anywhere else to be.
But there was.... There always had been.
Now pause:
If you were a fly on the wall in your own life:
- How many limits do you live by that were never truly yours?
- How many beliefs were handed to you, not chosen by you?
- How many invisible ropes still shape your decisions?
Take time with this.
This matters more than most people realise.
You are far more capable than you believe.
Stronger than you were ever told.
Smarter than the labels you accepted.
Many of the limits you live with today:
- Were spoken over you when you were younger
- Were inherited from fear, not truth
- Were reinforced by repetition, not reality
You can change.
If you choose to look.
- Beyond the rope.
- Beyond the bars.
- Beyond the limits that were never real in the first place.
Sometimes growth is not about becoming more.
It is about remembering who you were
Before you were told who to be.
