Do Your Part

One day, a massive fire broke out in a forest, engulfing the entire forest in flames. Animals were rushing out, only to be trapped at every turn, helpless.
Amidst the chaos, a little hummingbird decided to take action. It flew to the nearest stream, scooped up a tiny drop of water in its beak, and flew toward the fire. The hummingbird dropped the drop of water onto the flames and returned to the stream. It scooped up another drop, flew towards the fire, dropped the drop of water onto the flames, and flew back to the stream.
The animals around watched in bewilderment. The seemingly insignificant outcome of the hummingbird’s efforts did not justify the passion it was flying around to put drops of water into the fire.
“Why are you even bothering to fetch the water?” A baby deer spoke up. “Your efforts are so small compared to the vastness of the fire. You will not be able to put it out, don’t you get it?”
The hummingbird replied, “I am small and I am insignificant in comparison to the magnitude of the problem at hand. But, I am doing what I can. I am doing my part.”

Sometimes we are faced with problems bigger than us. We know that no matter what we do, we will not be able to solve it. The magnitude of the problem is not the real problem, the mindset of non-participation because we feel we won’t match up is! It is our response to problems that define and shape our character and personality.?
Let me add a situation from the game of cricket. It’s the last ball and 20 runs to go. What would you like the batsman to do? No matter what he does, he will lose. He knows that. So, shall he throw in the bat and walk away? Or should he give it the best shot that he can? You expect the batsman to give his best shot despite the firm verdict that he will lose – same to you.
While you know the problem will persist, taking action to the best of your capability will build in you the mindset of responsibility and control. Sitting back and witnessing the ship sink is a victim and loser mindset. You may lose anyways, but you will not go back a loser. You will know you did the best you could, you did your part.
How would you interpret this story? Inspire me.
Committed to your success,
