Successful Life
What is the primary basis of our successful life?
Once a thirteen-fourteen year old child asked his father, "Dad... what is a successful life?" The father smiled at his son and asked him, "How do you like flying kites?" The child replied very excitedly, "I love seeing kites flying high in the sky."
The father said, "Let us go and fly kites." They both went to the roof of their house to fly kites. Both father and son got engrossed in flying kites and enjoyed a lot. After a while, the son said to his father, "Dad... the kite is not able to go higher because of the string, shall we break it! The kite will go even higher."

At the behest of the child, the father broke the string...the kite went a little higher... and after that, it came down waving and fell to a distant unknown place. The son got upset and asked his father, "Why did this kite fall?"
The father then explained the philosophy of life to his son, "The existence of the kite was because of the string, dear. As long as the kite was tied to the string, it was flying. This string was not stopping him from going higher, but it was supporting him. Son... the heights we are at in life, we often feel that certain things, to which we are tied, are preventing us from going higher. Like home, family, discipline, parents, guru, society, and we wish to be free from them.?
In fact, these are the threads or strings, that keep us at that height. Without these strings, we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate as this kite without a string.
Moral : So, in life if you want to remain on heights, then never break the relationship with these threads... but keep nurturing them with your love, they will never let you fall from the heights & celebrate abundance of Joy & Happiness all around.
