Nice!  (Sorry it didn't reproduce completely)  The message reminded me of "Water for Elephants" when the elephant finally had enough abuse and "broke" free.  We are sometimes shackled by the memories of our youth.

I also applied it to our mentality of what can be accomplished after we've gone through this great change. 

Can I run 3.1 miles?  6.2?
Can I coach my kid's soccer/baseball/football team and be a healthy example for him/her?
Can I ride my bike 10 miles? 30?

All these new things are possible if we free our mind from the tethering to which we've grown accustomed.
