The Bubble
Break the Bubble!
We all live in a bubble. The discomfort we feel are the edges. The more we lean against the edges, the further it expands.
We begin in a very small bubble, in the womb. Every day we live, we get the opportunity to burst through our preexisting bubbles.
We each live in our own bubble, and others exist to show us evidence that our own bubble can be expanded far beyond where it is today. There will always be those with bigger bubbles, and those with smaller bubbles.
The extent to how large our bubble gets may be more about our stretch in a past life. But I believe it's much more of the potential you can see within yourself. To see that who you can become today is not limited by who you've been.
Your willingness to face rejection, overcome objections, and discount naysayers is a nothing more than a reflection of the limits of your bubble.
On a practical level, lets take ukulele.
If you've been playing open chords on the first 4 frets, you're playing within a bubble of existing knowledge. To stretch your bubble, learn to play all the chords on the higher frets.
