Over the years, many have been drawn into the corporate world in order to survive. Have enough to feed the family and perhaps a vacation once every 3 years. With the years of being trained to take the public transport and squeeze into the crowded train or bus, one might have forgotten something, or rather someone. That someone is self.
Although this was posted 10 years ago on Oprah, it’s still the same. Nothing has changed much. We go through the same process day after day, month after month and year after year while hoping for someone to show us a way out of it. It is said that when we are shown a way out of it, there are times that we are unable to recognise the opportunity.
A young man wished to marry the farmer’s beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission. The farmer looked him over and said, “Son, go stand out in that field. I’m going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of any one of the three bulls, you
can marry my daughter.”The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull. The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen. He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back gate. The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life.
It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him. Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one. He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest, scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just
right and jumped at just the exact moment. He grabbed but the bull had no tail!Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of, some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better), those opportunities may never again be
available. So always grab the first opportunity
There are 4 corners of a dollar bill. Imagine them as 4 legs. With 2 legs of ours attempting to run after 4 legs, which will win? Is rushing to work what you had in mind when you first graduated and hoping for a good pay? Is your current job your real passion that you don’t mind rushing off in the morning and returning home late daily?
What are you rushing for?
