A couple months ago, a couple friends of mine were talking about glass ceilings. I'm not quite sure why or what they were referring to, as the sounds of silent sleep invaded my mind at that time of night, but the phrase itself caught my attention.
It's an interesting feeling, thinking you can reach any height and yet when you try, the tips of your nails break, the joints in your fingers are no longer functioning from the pressure, and all of a sudden, your nose is splattered against a surface you didn't know was there.
It's like those window cleaning commercials; someone or something has to crash into the newly cleaned glass window. And then we all laugh at their stupidity.
Is it stupid to see the future in a positive light though? To know that what others see as unattainable, is, in fact, absolutely attainable?
Do we see the world as a box, or flat surface, as they did back in the day? The light at the end of the tunnel can only be seen through the transparent object in our way, or can we break through?
At that point, key factors in life kick in. Communication, perseverance, discernment... the list could go on and on.
Utilize those skills you have acquired throughout your life to shatter the glass ceiling and spread your wings. Because in the end, the glass ceiling is you. Your insecurities, your fears, your choices.
What's your next step?
