Murli and his Friends

Every year during the summer holidays, Murli used to go mountaineering with his friends.

This year also he made plans with them.

On reaching the destination, the guide asks them to move towards a famous mountaineering spot.

On reaching there Murli and his friends found that the place was crowded with a bunch of people which they didn't expect.

A friend said, "There is city like crowd here. What's fun in climbing !!"

"We have already come here, so what is the use of regret? Let's enjoy", replied Murli.

All the friends started climbing and reached the top of the hill in no time.

There was already an influx of people. Friends thought that they would camp here for three to four hours and then go back.

Just then Murli pointed to a peak in front and said, "Wait, wait.. look at the peak. Only a handful of people are visible there. It would be fun. Why don't we go there?"

One of his friends said, "There! but, I have heard about that hill, The path to that hill is very difficult and only a few lucky people can reach there."

Some people standing next to them, said, "Brother, If it was so easy to go there, why are we all would have come here!"

But Murli didn't listen to anyone and went alone towards the top and after three hours he was on top of that hill.

On reaching there, people already present welcomed him. Murli was also happy to reach there, he could enjoy the beauty of nature in peace.

On the way back, Murli asked the rest of the people, "Tell me one thing. In my opinion, It was not that difficult to reach here. One who can reach that crowded peak, if he works a little more, can also reach this peak."

Then why is it that, there are hundreds of people there and only a handful of people here.

One of those people there, said, "Because most people become happy with what they get easily. They do not have the intention to get more than this. They do not want to risk getting more. They are afraid that in pursuit of more, they lose what they already have."

While reality is that it takes just a little more effort to reach the next peak or destination.

But due to not being able to show courage. Most people just remain a part of the crowd for their whole life and keep comforting themselves by calling that handful of people who show courage lucky.

Flash:- Don't settle for the easy path just because it's convenient or comfortable. True fulfillment often lies beyond the crowded and familiar destinations. Only those who dare to take the extra step, overcome their fears, and embrace challenges can discover the extraordinary rewards that await them.

Moral:- All it takes is a little more effort to reach to the next destination. A little more courage can take you out of the crowd and join those handful of people whom the world calls lucky.

"Courage empowers individuals to stand out from the crowd."
