Did you know that not all goldfish are small?
One goldfish might be quite tiny. Another quite large. The different is all in the environment.
While the common theory is that a fish does not outgrow the size of its environment, it is actually the quality of the environment that matters. The fish will grow bigger IF the water is clean. IF there is a good food supply.
Otherwise, not only do they fail to grow, they signal limitations to other fish. In short, fish in a toxic environment will not only NOT grow, they will limit the growth of those around them.
Humans are not much different. In the right environment, with the proper fuel, our mental and emotional growth has no known boundaries.
When we are in a poor environment, such as one with a toxic culture or that does not meet our needs, our growth will be stunted. If we are not careful, we can become part of that toxicity for others.
A positive environment will provide fuel in curiosity, inspiration, friendship, and learning opportunities. In any environment, we must protect ourselves against mental and emotional limits. Those limits include those that are self-imposed. To continue fueling our growth, we must reject negative self-talk, toxic relationships, and soul-sucking activities that keep us small.
Find inspiring fuel in a healthy environment to unleash your potential and see just how big you can grow.
