Life could never be perfect; if life were perfect, there would be no
challenges for a person to face plus there would be no interesting phase of
life. Perhaps God made life imperfect so that people will have responsibilities
to do. The missing links in life becomes tools for people to use in grappling
with circumstances that they encounter in life everyday; otherwise, man would
just sit down and do nothing if life were perfect. Life is a mystery we really
don’t have all the answers…. Sometimes we need to hear so many No’s before we get
the one YES, we might need to kiss so many frogs before we find our prince
charming… The road to success is fraught with pain and rejection but each NO
takes you closer to your big YES… Always remember you will need only one YES to
make your big break! Be it business, relationship, job offer, marriage proposal
etc. Just be patient and keep keeping on, we will all make it to the finish
line… life is a roller coaster we just got to ride it.
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.
