There is another side to the old saying “like a bull in a
china shop”. We usually use the term to
point our finger at some overbearing, inconsiderate scoundrel. But think of
that hapless bull unable to move for fear of breaking some fragile dish, some
priceless crystal candlestick. No matter which way he turns or moves failure is
sure. In time or frustration he eventually must move, must escape, smashing
breakables the whole way.
If you find yourself facing failure at every turn, no place
to go, perhaps it isn’t because you are a failure but that you’ve gotten
yourself into a china shop, perhaps one you built yourself or loved one built
for you, when in truth you were born to stampede wild through the grasslands.
Run, Wild Bull, Run
