Monotony and boredom are self-inflicted wounds to the human spirit. If you have a routine, lackluster, and sometimes tedious job , that does not mean you have to live a routine, lackluster, and tedious life . Maybe you need to change jobs. Maybe you simply need to give yourself some additional space to grow. Perhaps you've been to the fair and seen cucumbers grown inside soda bottles or pumpkins in gallon jugs.
Young plants placed inside containers grow to the space they have.
They take on the contours and limits of their surroundings. We grow to the intellectual space we have. I understand it works with animals too. Put a young fish whose species normally grows reasonably large into a tiny aquarium, and its full adult size will be suppressed because of the strictly limited space it was given. The same thing is true of people.
