In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway.
Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the hug rock.
Some of the King’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came
by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the
roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then
a peasant came along, carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder,
the peasant laid down his burden, and tried to move the stone to the side of
the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.
After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed a purse laying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse
contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was
for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand.
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our
condition.
Cheers!
