"But I've tried everything!" Have you ever heard this before? When was the last time you said it?
Thinking about those crazy fleas in the jar again, imagine this dialogue between fleas:
Young flea: What is it like on the outside?

Old flea: Well it is real nice, paradise if you will! Dogs everywhere, freedom, everything we could ever dream of.

Young flea: So, it is better than in this jar?

Old flea: Well, of course!

Young flea: Then why don't we team up stop jumping for a minute and create a plan?

Old flea: Ha! We tried that ages ago. We've tried everything! This is what we have to do. Just keep jumping and stop thinking about the outside.

Young flea: (self dialogue) well, I suppose since he is old and wise I should listen, after all, what do I know? He said they've tried everything, there is probably nothing else to try.

It seems that there are a million different ways to do nearly everything. How could one have "tried everything"? Seriously!

When you go about your day, think about that statement: "I've tried everything." Next time you get to a difficult part of a task or a challenging time in you job, communication with someone, or a diet think about the ridiculousness in this statement.

What/who is the saran wrap in your life? (barrier to you achieving your dreams)
What are you jumping for? What are your dreams?
What haven't you tried yet?
