What's Holding Us Back From moving Ahead in Life?
A farmer had three donkeys and was taking them for sale to market. On the way he saw a river and desire to take a dip . There was an issue though. He only had two ropes and thus would able to tie only two of his 3 donkeys to a tree. How to tie the third one ? He wondered . Around there he saw a wise man and approached him for a rope to tie his third donkey. The man did not have a rope, but have a brilliant suggestion . He told the farmer, " Tie the 2 donkeys up to a tree with the ropes you have and make sure that the third donkey is watching. Then simply pretend to tie the third one".
The farmer followed the man's advice and went for a dip in the river. When he came back, he saw that the donkey stood exactly at the same spot where he had left them. He thanked the wise man, untied the donkeys and patted the third one so its start moving as well. After going a little distance, he turned around and was surprised to see the third donkey still standing at the very same spot.
He tried cajoling and talking to the donkey. It did not help. He tried to push the donkey from behind but it refused to move from the spot.
Helpless, the farmer came back to the man, who asked him , " Did you untied the third donkey?" " Untie ! But I never tied him up," replied the farmer. The man said, " You know that. The donkey doesn't. It still thinks it is tied up ." The farmer then went through the imaginary motions of untying the donkey and guess what? Sure enough the donkey moved immediately, as though released and walk over to join its two friends.
Ladies and gentlemen
What's holding us back from moving ahead and reaching our dreams?
Is it a lack of resources, is it a lack of opportunities, it is a lack of support
Or, are we tied up by the imaginary rope's of doubt, fear , hesitation.
Yes we certainly need to work on the external parameters needed for our success.
What is even more important is that we untie our mental blocks and expidite our journey towards our goal.
Thank you 💖.
