Take the Lid Off | Michelle Tennant Nicholson

Lately, I feel like a flea. No, I don't mean Red Hot Chili Pepper's lead singer, Flea. I mean fleas in a jar who have been trained to only jump as high as the lid will allow. Even their offspring will learn this trained behavior. Last night, I was at my Landmark seminar in Charlotte called, "Breakthroughs: Living Outside the Box," and I shared from the front of the room that lately I've been dealing with how to keep expanding myself and leading those around me when everything is successful, but you feel like shrinking because it's just "too successful." You know the feeling. You're on the roller coaster of life and think, wow, this is great. How much better can it get? Then you start to put the lid on to keep it a certain level of comfortable. Just like trained fleas in a jar.

The seminar leader encouraged me to practice my homework. I remember my homework well, because I shared it at my Native American circle Thursday evening Oct. 1 as a way I've learned to get unstuck in life. The moderator had asked us all to share, "How do you get unstuck in life." I said, "Personal growth and development seminars."

Quick side-note on why I practice Native American spirituality. Some people are curious https://twitter.com/psiseminars
