Metaphor: “The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It’s
what you’re made of, not the circumstances.”
What do boiling eggs and potatoes in boiling water have to do with anything inspirational? Sometimes you have to dig deeper. To start off, these objects react differently to the boiling water. The potato went in strong and hard. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after siting through the boiling water, its insides became hardened. Same goes with us. Our character is what determines our reaction. The water will change us no matter what, but who we change into is based on how we react. We have a choice on how we react; we aren’t forced to react a certain way because were unfortunately placed into the circumstance. Life is about choices, and those choices speak about your character. The vision board has a background of a collage of foods. Why? Well to start off, all these foods have either undergone some kind of change, whether they have been softened, cooked, baked, cut up or even grown. This relates to the metaphor since it represents the idea of change. Then, there are two pathways, one named tragedy and the other felicity. A person must decide which to take. The tragedy pathway will make you weak and soft, like a potato, but, there is hope; there is an exit pathway that can help you achieve felicity. Others can handle the difficult journey to achieve felicity; those persons have overcame the difficulty of their situation; they have gone through the cold to hot change, which represents the difficulty of the obstacles. This metaphor illustrates that you can either fall victim to the circumstance or overcome it.
