Good Afternoon Margaret, Hope that you are not getting caught in the long lines of holiday shopping as this is supposed to be the most busy shopping day of the year. I saw this little story on how much we can grow if we do not limit our potential: POTENTIAL A favorite fish of many hobbyist is the Japanese carp, commonly known as the koi. The fascinating thing about the koi is that if you keep it in a small bowl, the fish will only grow to be 2-3 inches in long. Place it in a larger tank or a small pond and it will reach 6 - 10 inches.(I had to read this again as I forgot what it was that grew 6 -10 inches and I started to get excited)(ggg) However, when placed in a huge lake where it can really stretch out, it has the potential to reach sizes up to 3 feet! You've probably already figured out the simple point to this illustration. The size of the fish is in direct relation to the size of the pond. A comparable analogy can be made concerning people. Our growth is determined by the size of our world. Of course, it is not the world's measurable dimensions that are most important...but the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical opportunities we expose ourselves to. Have a great weekend Warm regards Frank
