Is That All That’s Holding You Back?

If you’ve never seen one of these before, it’s a cow barrier.

This small grate is the only thing standing between herds of cattle and a world of freedom.

I understand that a cow can’t really jump over the moon, but it’s pretty hard to believe that a cow would be physically incapable of taking a leap of faith to cross this 2 foot grid.

In reality they are simply scared of crossing it.

Looking at one of these made me think about how many people I see that are being held within their own mediocre situation by some simple, insignificant barrier.

If anything about your life isn’t the way you want it, chances are there is a small barrier that you need to cross.   Sometimes they have been there so long that you don’t even notice them anymore, but it’s still holding you in your current pasture.

Take a few minutes to identify your barrier.

Then go ahead and cross it, just to see what’s on the other side.
