What's Stopping You?

Here's a story for you.

A King from a faraway land was gifted two magnificent falcons. They were the most beautiful birds he had ever seen and he instantly fell in love with them.

He gave them to a highly acclaimed trainer to be trained to fly.

Months passed.

One day, the trainer informed the King that one of the falcons has learned to fly majestically and is soaring high in the sky.

But the other one hadn't moved from it's branch from day one.

The king was a bit upset. He called upon sorcerers and healers and also took advice from other learned men to make the Falcon fly.

He presented the task to his courtiers, but that didn't help either. The bird never left the branch.

Almost at the point of giving up, the king thought he'll give it one last shot. He announced a large reward for anyone who can make the bird fly.

The next day morning, to the amazement of the King, the falcon was flying high in the sky.

The King asked for whoever made this miracle happen be presented in his court.

The court quickly located the person - a farmer - and brought him to the court.

The King asked - "How did you make the Falcon fly? The best men I could find had tried and failed this task, but you succeeded so easily".

"It was quite easy sir," said the farmer. "I just cut the branch the bird was sitting on."

So, what's your comfort zone that you don't want to leave and fly high in the sky?
