| Invisible Fences. "I saw a sign for a dog training company on someone's lawn. It spoke of Invisible Fences. It's a system that sets an invisible boundary that the dog can't get past. The dog eventually becomes conditioned so that even when that fence is gone, it will not run beyond it. The dog sets up imaginary limits that determine it's reality. We're like that to. As we grow up we adopt negative beliefs and false assumptions and sabotaging fears from the world around us. They become our Invisible Fences. We believe they are real. When we bump against them in our lives, we retreat. We believe the boundries are true. So we shrink from all that we are meant to be/do/have. The illusion seems real, but it's not. Question your Invisible Fences. Be aware of them. Challenge and observe them. Rather than running from them, run through the imaginary boundaries and toward the possibilities your life is meant to be. Because what you resist will persist. But what you befriend, you transend."
