No One Is Stopping You To Become What You Want To Be
But something is.

Yesterday while walking on my terrace, I looked up at the sky and saw the birds flying, flying high and free, and I wondered.
Is there even a single person on this planet who does not want to fly like a bird?
Who does not dream of freedom, of rising above it all?
But every time we try to do so, it feels like something holds us back. Like we just cannot do it.
Why does this not happen to birds?
Because birds trust their wings. From the moment they are young, they are shown how to believe in their ability. They do not question it. They just fly.
But for us humans, it has not been like that. We are not raised to believe in any kind of flight. Forget flying high. Not because we are incapable, but because we’ve been taught that dreaming big is risky, irresponsible and selfish. So we settle down.
What are we taught?
To keep our heads down. To not stand out. To be mediocre. For comfort. For certainty.
And do you know what does this sound like? A bird that could fly, but has been caged.
