“Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.”

~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

 

1. Everybody has their own unique a Story

A twenty four year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…

“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad grinned and a couple sitting close by, looked at the twenty four year old’s immature behavior with sympathy,

All of a sudden, he yelled once again……

“Dad, look at the clouds they are running with us!”

The couple became curious and they asked the father……

“Why don’t you take your son to a decent doctor?”

The father grinned and said…

“We did and we just returned from the hospital, my son was sightless from birth, he got his sight back today.

Everyone in this world has a story. Don’t choose to evaluate others before you actually know them. The reality may astonish you.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”~ Haruki Murakami

2. Shake off your issues

A man's favourite donkey falls into a deep hole in the ground;

He couldn't pull him out in spite of how much he tried;

So he decided to bury him alive.

Mud was dispensed onto the donkey from above.

The donkey felt the weight, shook it off and stepped over it…..

More mud was dispensed on him by his master.

The donkey did the same thing again as he felt the weight, shook it off and stepped over it…..

The more the weight was poured, the higher the donkey rose;

By noon, the donkey was grazing in green pastures.

After much shaking off (of problems)

And stepping up (learning from them),

One can also graze in green PASTURES.

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.~ Michael Jordan

3. The tied Elephants

A man was passing by few elephants, he suddenly stopped, puzzled by the very fact that these gigantic creatures were being dominated by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was totally obvious that the elephants may, at any time, cut loose from their bonds nevertheless they didn't attempt to escape.

He saw an instructor close by and asked why these animals just stood there and created no plan to run away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they're very little and much smaller in size we use the same size rope to tie them and at that time the rope was apt to tie them. As they grew up they became accustomed to trust they cannot cut loose from the rope. They believe the rope will still hold them, so they never attempt to escape.”

The man was amazed. These animals may at any time become independent from their bonds nevertheless, since they thought they could not, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, many of us go through life lynching onto a conviction that we cannot do something, just because we were unsuccessful at it before.

Remember failure is an element of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.~Michael Jordan
