Good point! Makes me think of Batmas escape from prison in the last movie. You can fly with a rope around your waist!
ReplyDeleteThis is an intriguing one, I shall have to think about this...Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHe who hesitates is lost?
ReplyDeleteIs this not just wishful thinking about a flea?

Perhaps we could extend this truth past the insect kingdom? :) Although - perhaps the flea that knows a good thing when he sees it has no need to jump anywhere... Just playing with the idea a bit!
ReplyDeleteSo true! How fascinating to use the flea in your aphorism. I’ve known some fleas who were pretty high jumpers, they must have been very confident little buggers!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this NP. Got me thinking about how we gradually give up trying by not aiming as high as we use to.
ReplyDeleteIts always true. I always enjoy a cat trying to jump between objects, and if you watch their eyes, and they doubt they can do it, more often than not, they fall just a tad short.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think the high-jumpers don't see themselves as "just fleas." They see just sky and possibility.
ReplyDeleteNo sense of limitations, no hesitation, just jumping right in (or up). That's what life's all about, isn't it? This spirited little flea is onto something! (and I don't mean the family pet) :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is a fact!

Your aphorism are coming on leaps and bounds!
ReplyDeletespot on! confidence is everything!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the quote from the Dali Lama,
ReplyDelete"If you think that you are too insignificant to make a difference in the world, you haven't slept with a mosquito"
That is so true and pithy. I guess doubt and achieving are inversely related.
ReplyDeleteAh yes,
