Great things take time to happen. you know how??

Let me tell you a story of a farmer. One day he asked God "Hey Lord there is so much misery in my life why you gave me such a life?

God smiled and said, " Dear you know when I initially created this earth I sowed the seeds of both a moss and a bamboo. I waited for them to grow. Within few months the mosses shooted plants out, but the bamboo still didn't had any sign of growth. I waited, after one year the mosses grew to a big shrubs and was covering the forest slowly. But still the bamboo seeds were lifeless. Years passed, mosses have covered the forest but the bamboo still had no growth. I was on the edge of loosing hope but in the end of fifth year I saw a small shoot of bamboo out from soil. I was happy. But within six months it grew up to the height of eighty feet tall. And I was delighted to see it. But Then I realised that all these years it was just growing it's roots inside the soil to support such a height of the bamboo plant. And I was unable to see anything. So dear even if you are going through bad times, there is something good happening at the back which you can't see, so perseverance is the key. You just need to wait for it."

The farmer understood and went home happily.

So even in our lives if we encounter any adverse situation, we should go with it and wait. We should have hope and surely something good will happen.
