    Default Life's Obstacles

    Life's Obstacles

    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 in life.

    It is what it is, not what you want it to become, that's important -- at least for now. Today, remember that things worth having are worth waiting for!

    After much pushing and straining, the stone moved but he felt a stinging sensation in his groin and realized that he had just gotten a hernia. As he limped away...
