YOUR CIRCLE MATTERS
<p>During the first holiday I had as an undergraduate, I noticed that things became weirdly different - the environment, the water, the food and even rarely-noticed items such as the beds and the pots. The seeming changes relating to the pots and beds and pots, especially, led to my writing this piece.</p><p>When I got home that day, I was famished so I went to the kitchen to check if I had any food prepared for me but my attention shifted from from the hunger that took me to the kitchen to something else when I got to the kitchen - the pot. While I tried to wave it off, I could not bring myself to terms with the fact that the pot I cooked with and was served from for years before I got admission now looked mysteriously bigger. I had to voice out my thoughts to my mum and siblings, but then I knew why I felt this way. For a while, I had been using relatively smaller pots to cook.</p><p>So, how does this relate to one's circle? The circle you are in most times determine how far you can dream. When you belong in a circle of small minds, you are will likely think short-term and achieve far below what you are capable of, and when you are in a circle of big dreamers, you become a big dreamer and an even greater achiever. Just as I thought that a medium-sized pot was too big due to my overexposure to small pots, so does constant exposure to petty and mediocre circles condition a person's mind to see valid dreams as too big or impossible to achieve.</p><p>Hope you found this helpful 🤗</p>
