Wisdom of the Goldfish

Storytime inspiration

The big eyes blinked. "Are you looking at me? I can see your big round eyes - much bigger than mine. I am looking at you. I probably won't remember you in a couple of minutes, but I like what I see. You are smiling. I think you are kind, curious and happy to see me. I am happy to see you too.

I will only grow as big as my container allows, and as long as I am fed and looked after I will be happy. But your world is bigger - you have the opportunity to grow and learn and be the best of yourself. If you believe that your potential is limited, then it becomes self-fulfilling and that can make you sad. Choose life - do not allow the world to push you into a container - allow yourself to learn and grow. Tune into your own wisdom and find what makes you feel happy and fulfilled and don't just swim, fly." __________________________________ Words and illustration by Karen Curran COPYRIGHT
