Problems in Life!!

Once in a village lived a farmer who used to work in a big field. In the middle of his field, there was a boulder stuck in the land which used to get in the farmer's way while working.

The farmer would work cautiously around that boulder but still there were times he would stumble because of that boulder and fell.

Whenever the farmer fell, he would think of getting that boulder removed from his field but then got scared of thinking how big that stone was and how deep it might be stuck in the land. He thought he could not do it alone and it would take a lot of time. Thinking all that he would leave that stone as it is.

Like every day, in the morning farmer went to his fields to work but again the same thing happened, once again farmer's foot got stuck on that boulder and he stumbled and fell over. His plow also broke because of that stone.

Farmer got very angry as for years he had to face the loss of his tools many times because of that stone. This time he thought that he would dig out that boulder from that land and throw it out of his fields.

He immediately went back to the village and came back with 4-5 people holding tools to dig that boulder out.

When the farmer reached near that boulder, he said to people who came with him to help him, "Friends, you see this stone, it has caused me much harm and today we will remove it from its root and throw it out of my fields."

Saying this, the farmer took a shovel and started digging around that stone. He just made 2-3 strikes to dig soil around that boulder and the whole boulder came out of the land.

Seeing this, people around him laughed and one of them said to him, "What is this brother? You used to say that there is a very big boulder stuck in your field, but this is just a big rock that was just lying here. You could remove it alone."

The farmer was also surprised to see that for all these years, he thought that a big boulder was stuck there but today he found that it was just a big rock which could be removed easily by himself only.

He regretted and wished that he had tried to remove it already then, he would not have to face this much all those years.

Flash: Like the farmer, in our life many times when we face small obstacles that look too big to face, instead of dealing with them, we keep suffering. Therefore, it is important that we choose to fight those troubles without losing time.

When we choose to fight, we can see that in no time, the big trouble starts resembling a small problem and we can remove it from our life and move forward.

Moral: Do not choose to live with your problem. Just shake off your problems and stand on them and step up in life after learning from them. Every bad experience is a new learning. So, get the positives out of it and work towards your goals.

"You have to be stronger than your obstacles, and braver than your fears."
