The Bonsai Effect
Many times in our lives, unknowingly, with all good intentions, we create a Bonsai of our loved ones, may be family or our team members. In our zeal to protect them from the wicked world and its hardships, we shelter them. We would see many examples in our real life among our family, friends and relations. While we all want them to grow and flourish in life, do we really plant them into the open sky and expose them to all the vagaries of nature? A tree planted in the open soil, under the sky has infinite space for its roots to grow and its branches to spread out into the sky unlike a Bonsai tree which stagnates and remain a dwarf. Lets give them the space, allow them to flourish and achieve their full potential.
