Never Give Up on Your Fate
22-08-2017
A farmer’s donkey fell into a well and the poor animal brayed piteously for hours, as the farmer did not know what to do. Since the animal was old, the farmer decided that it just wasn’t worth retrieving the donkey and decided to cover up the well as well. So he called all his neighbours to help him shovel mud into the well to cover it up. At first the donkey realized what was happening and brayed horribly. Then to everyone’s amazement, he quietened down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of mud that hit the donkey’s back, he was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed to see the donkey stepping up over the edge of the well and trotting off. Life is much like this, all kinds of dirt is shoveled on our lives. Like the donkey, we too can shake it off and take a step up.
The troubles and worries of life may be as stumbling blocks in our way, we can make them stepping-stones. Shake them off your fate. Life isn’t easy….. that’s just the way it is.
