STORY for Your WEEK
Do Not Limit Yourself
By Catherine Pulsifer
My Grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set limits on what I could achieve. She truly believed that there were no limits that you could achieve whatever you wanted. She once told me the following story about a radish and a milk bottle, it was a story that I have never forgotten.
A farmer won a first prize at the country fair for his huge radish that was the exact shape and size of a quart of milk bottle.
Many were curious as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle. Finally one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied, "It was easy. I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had nowhere else to go."
You can use this story as an analogy to life – our lives are shaped by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to influence us, and the goals we give ourselves. If we only dream and take no action then we get no further. But if we plan, set a goal and take action then our life takes a different shape. Don't limit yourself; don't put yourself in a bottle. Or in other words move out of what is comfortable and secure if you want to move forward.

You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.
Steve Garvey
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.
