By now many of you have seen this amazing footage shot last week at a bullfight in Tafalla, Navarra, Northern Spain. In the middle of the show, the bull gracefully leaps into the stand. Like pure magic, the 1,100 pound bull body breaks the constraints of the ring and gravity. As incredible as this seems, it’s really no less of a trick to rise above the dominating forces in our own lives – history, morality, political leanings. At a time when Spain is considering putting an end to bullfighting – a debate pitting traditional culture against animal rights – this bull shows us how take the fight out the arena and into a new, realer realm. If we think only in terms of opposing ideologies, we won’t see beyond a playing field predetermined to allow only a limited number of results. Killin’ it is rising above “the-my-side-verses-yours” scenario in order to live your own moment. In other words, if you see boundaries around you, be sure to consider breaking them. It’s not always a choice between you killing the bull or letting the bull kill you; sometimes it’s about seeing beyond the ring and then killin’ it with a mighty leap.
