In a small corner of a garden, there lived a group of fleas. They hopped & jumped around, exploring every inch of their little world.
One day, Rajan caught them & placed them in a jar with a lid on it.
At first, the fleas didn’t understand why they couldn’t jump out.
But as days passed, the fleas stopped jumping as high. They learned to adjust to the limited space, & no longer hit their heads on the lid because they didn’t jump high enough to reach it.
Weeks turned into months, and the fleas forgot about the lid entirely.
One morning, the lid was removed from the jar. They could jump as high as they wanted now!
But to their surprise, the fleas didn’t jump very high at all.
Confused, one flea asked another, “Why aren’t we jumping higher? We’re free now!“
The wise old flea replied, “We’ve trained ourselves to believe that we can only jump so high. Even though the lid is gone, our minds still hold us back. We’ve become used to our limitations.”
Realizing the truth in the old flea’s words, they began to challenge themselves. Slowly but surely, they started jumping higher and higher, breaking free from the imaginary barrier they had imposed on themselves.
As a UPSC Aspirant, there will always be days, where we think – this is all I can do!
Attempting 1 test is the limit – I cannot complete my CA Notes now!
I have completed 2023 Prelims PYQs, & will be able to do 2022 PYQs only tomorrow!
But it is only when you challenge your ‘limitations’ to reach your full potential, you’ll work hard enough to make it to the final list.
Don’t limit yourself. Don’t think – not this time. Attempt your test series – you can do it!
