There is a wise old man who lived on the fringes of the plateau near the pond. One day a young man reached a plateau the young man was an overthinker and he didn’t have any patience due to lack of patience He was not able to achieve their dream. He just thought more about failure as compared to success. His life was filled with negativity which is not good. The young man told his story to the wise man. The wise man nodded his head and told him don’t take the tension any more I have a solution for your problem. The wise man whispered something and told him to follow them. The wise man took the young man towards the pond and told them to see the pond water 💦 and try to relate their problem to water. The young man wasn’t able to relate then the wise man told him dear as you can see the water is in blue colour which identifies freedom, calm and peace. And this is necessary for the life of every person. You can see the pond water is not pure this is a mixture so this is impure water. Just like that, our life is a mixture of various things that includes happiness, sadness, hatred and a lot more. This is just like a cycle of sometimes happiness and sadness. So dear you should have to understand this cycle of life. Success and failure are nothing in life are just two faces of a coin. Then the wise man told him that overthinking is not a good way to achieve your goal. Yeah of course this is true if you see the big dream then your success is also big. So dear think about those things which are beneficial for you, keep away from negativity do not try to do those things which are not made for you and, stay happy with limited things. After the young man 👨 understand the strategy had gone from the plateau and spent his life in happiness without overthinking.

If you did a lot of hard work for your dream but still you are not able to fulfil it then it’s okay just stay happy with limited things and just think that this is not made for you and thought only that you can achieve bigger from this.

Thanks for reading Follow for more.
