Feeling Low?

So, this fellow was running a zoo and he couldn't afford to buy a tiger. So, he takes a person, dresses him up as a tiger, and tells him, "I want you to growl as a tiger, jump as a tiger, run around as a tiger." And this the man does for 2 years. It's the great attraction of the zoo. People are coming to see this extraordinary tiger. One visitor who would come every day to see the tiger one day was astounded and flabbergasted. At the end of the day, when the tiger thought everybody was gone, he turns to the one who takes care of the zoo and he says, "Hey, how are you doing?" And this visitor runs to the owner and he says, "You're a thief. You're a thug. You're a liar." He says, "Why?" He says, "That's not a tiger. That's a human being." He says, "How do you know?" He says, "I've been coming here for 2 years and I heard him speak today." He says, "Hey, for 2 years he didn't say a word. Once he says a word, that's proof that he's a human being. Come on." Of course, the fact is that if he would have been a tiger, he couldn't speak even once in 2 years. One of the greatest mistakes we make in life is we judge ourself based on our worst version of ourself, not our best version of ourself. Even if you could speak once in 2 years, it means you're a human being. You're not a tiger. The fact that once in a while you have those moments of clarity and inspiration, it means that is who you are. That is how you should judge yourself.
