A woman saw a wild animal charging from the woods. She fired three shots in the air to scare it away, but it did not turn back. It caught up with her and pounced on her. She was severely wounded, but she survived.
A security camera nearby captured the incident, and everyone who watched the video asked her one question. “Why did you not shoot directly at it when it was obvious it was coming to get you?”
She said she thought the warning shots would be enough to make it turn away. Then someone asked her, “Did it show you that same mercy when it came for you?” She said no.
That wild animal is like the limiting beliefs, bad habits and toxic situations that relentlessly try to maul us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially.
Take every chance to save yourself; do not hesitate to face them head-on and get them down before they bring you down.
