Stop Overthinking & Start enjoying life to attain growth

Remember seven million people will experience each day in seven million different ways.

Once upon a time

There were 2 monks who had a hut where they lived together in a village close to a mountainous area.

They used to offer a great deal of worship and help the villagers, they also did various religious rituals. In return, the villagers provided them with food and a variety of things to make their livening comfortable.

One day returning to the village, one saint saw that the roof had been blown off the hut by a great storm. He got angry with God, and was asking, “God, why did you do this to us when we are praying every day? You did not hurt the villagers, they have been living in paradise, and they have become rich and are having a great life”.

When the other Monk reached home he asked his partner what had happened, the first monk showed him the hut and started moaning that even after so much prayer God had not saved their small hut.

The second Monk started smiling and telling the other monk, “just see, God has saved half our hut otherwise how can you trust storm to not try to blow the whole hut down. It must be that God saved half of our hut”.

He started thanking God and appreciating him for saving part of the hut, he lay down and on seeing the sky started praising, “just see God has done something amazing, it better than the complete hut because we were not able to see the sky, moonlight and stars just see how pleasant our view is now, I did not know before, but we have half a hut which is better”. He was jolly and feeling pleasant and fell asleep contentedly.

However, the other monk kept on moaning and feeling sad, he could not sleep all night with worry and fear.

The next morning the monk who appreciated God woke up in a happy mood, full of positive energy and more divine than the other Saint who woke up angry, grumpy, sad and low with no energy.

So what can we learn from this story?

How you think , you become!

How you use to choose to view your life depends on looking for 5the positives rather than focusing on the negatives.
