SO I have been proded by my wife to share with you all the parable that I had decieded not to post earlier.
I shall give the short version.
scientist goes to africa and finds poor family that lives off of one skinny cow.
Scientist decieds to run an experiment on family and kills the skinny cow.
scientist leaves for several years then comes back to where the poor family had lived.instead of finding the poor families little hut he finds a very nice house.
The Sientist is sad because he thinks that he has killed the poor family and someone has built a house on there land. so the scientist goes up to the house to find out what happened to the poor family and the father of the poor family answers the door. the suprised scientist asks what happened to him and his family?
The man explains that when they found there skinny cow dead that they thought all was lost, but as time went by, the man and his family started to discover that they all had different talents that helped them survive and even become very well off.
The moral of the story is that some times you have to get rid of the skinny cows in your life in order to find your real potential.
and those Skinny cows could be anything from a fear of the unknown to a job or even a real person. Just remember it's all about progression and there is nothing in this life that can stop that progression except for youself.

P.S. That is also the reason why we like driving fast in our cars, it's all about progress.J/K
