There is an ancient story of a cat in India who has a great fear of mice. The cat goes to a magician in search of help. The magician says "I'll turn you into what you fear the most" and then turns the cat into a mouse. Wonderful! Off goes the mouse, confident as ever because he has overcome his fear.
Until he meets a dog... So the mouse goes back to the magician and pleads for his help again. The magician reluctantly turns the mouse into Tiger. Everything again is wonderful until he meets a hunter. So the Tiger goes back to the magician and pleads yet again for more help. The Magician takes one look at the Tiger and say "I'm going to turn you back into a mouse for even though you have the body of a tiger you still have the marked heart of a mouse."
The question we need to ask ourselves is: Are there still places in our lives where we have the heart of a mouse? If so, what are we doing this very moment to propel ourselves toward not only having the body of a tiger but the heart of a tiger as well?
