The National zoo in Washington DC was home to a rare white tiger named Mohini, which, translated means Enchantress. She lived there for many years. Most of those years she was housed in the old lion house. The home of this magnificent creature was a 12 foot by 12 foot cage with iron bars and a cement floor.
Most of the time she paced, restlessly back and forth in the cage. Then the zoo created a natural habitat for her. It was several acres large and resembled a tiger’s natural environment with plants, trees and a pond.
The zoo caretakers were excited to release Mohini into her new home. They thought she would be very happy. But, sadly, Mohini did not respond as expected. She was so conditioned to be in a confined space that she did not know how to live any other way. She chose a corner of the habitat and lived the rest of her life pacing in the corner just as she had done in the cage. She wore a 12 foot by 12 foot area bare of the grass.
Are you living your life in a cage? A cubicle? Do you feel like there are bars on the windows of your office?
Most of us are conditioned to live our lives within the confines that others place on us or the restrictions that we place on ourselves.
Please don’t live in your cage for so long that you forget how to live free or loose the ability to enjoy freedom.
True freedom comes from being in charge of your own life. One way to be in charge of your life is to be in charge of your income. According to Robert Kiyosaki, a person must be in business for themselves to achieve true wealth. Explore the possibilities of self employment.
