Don't Eat the Cheese in the Trap

Don't Eat the Cheese in the Trap

Where there is free cheese, there is sometimes a trap.

"Don't envy the rat for the cheese in his trap," Lecrae reminds us.?

That cheese is the lure of old realities and our addiction to them.?

Entrepreneurs can create new realities.?

We are not lab rats or unwelcome guests in a proper home. We are creators and co-creators in an infinite labyrinth of creativity and boundless hope.?

We are creating new cheese, better cheese, sustainable cheese.?

We are not trapped by the past or by our passing urges. We have been captivated by the big picture, the blue sky, and uncharted future.?

Chart your own path and follow with commitment and energy.?

Start thinking outside of the box, the trap, or whatever is confining your thinking.?

Use your imagination to paint on a new canvas with fresh paint. Take your brush and bring a vision to life that can be seen, refined, colored, and emboldened for a future that is yet to be.?

Abandon every notion of fatalism or determinism. Whatever truth they may hold outside of this sphere, they presuppose our choices and activities within it. Think like a person with feet in multiple realities, choosing the reality that has harnessed your calling in this life.?

Live as if you have free will and you will at least to the extent that it matters or we can conceive of it. Do not get bogged down with theories when it is time to take action.?

Don't just live your dreams; design them; craft them; decorate them; advertise them; present them to the world.?

Don't be conformed to the system; build the system around your? vision of a better future for all.?

Don't pursue anything with total devotion that only benefits you. Thinking big means bringing others along to share in the blessings of all that you accomplish. Think bigger than big. Be a global thinker and extend that thinking beyond your own lifetime.?

Anything else is a rat trap.?

If someone is out there setting traps, dishing out the food pellets, calling the shots, or manipulating minds, be aware and reject their efforts. Be an entrepreneur in business, in society, and in the realm of the spirit. Be a creator who bows only to the Creator.?

And never, ever, envy the mice, the rats, or the masses.?

And do not eat their cheese.

#Questionforgroup

How do we drive this point home to ourselves?

How do we release ourselves from our own traps?

How do we help the people we coach, mentor, or lead to think more freely?

What are some good questions to ask ourselves or others?

I guess that is more than one question.

Oh well!
