The River and the Rocks

There was once a river that flowed freely through the valley, its waters clear and calm. For years, the river followed a smooth path, untroubled by obstacles. But one season, after a heavy storm, large rocks tumbled down the mountainside, landing right in the middle of the river's path.

The river was halted. It could no longer flow the way it always had. At first, the river tried to push the rocks aside, but they were too heavy and immovable. The river felt defeated, wondering if it would ever reach the ocean.

But the river didn’t give up. Instead, it started to flow around the rocks, finding new routes and creating small waterfalls and streams. Over time, the river carved new paths, and what seemed like an insurmountable challenge became a part of its beauty.

The river learned that success wasn’t about having a clear path but mastering the art of navigating through obstacles.

Success is not the absence of challenges but the mastery of navigating through them with resilience.
