We Need to Talk About The Tortoise 🐢

Hi There!

I felt compelled today to re-tell the most famous fable of all times- The Hare and the Tortoise

Whoever did the sports reporting on the day of the race did a terrible job I would say.

After all that magnificent race—'slow and steady won the race’ is what the world received!

Is that what the champion (the Tortoise) wanted you to learn from his victory?

I doubt so…

So, I sat down to watch the recording of the whole race and here is my reporting of the EPIC Race!

Let’s 1st look at the profile of the participants…

A Slow walking Tortoise competing against the hopper-topper Hare. Wow!!

What confidence must the tortoise have to even set foot on the race!

What did he tell himself to muster the courage?

Wait!

Before knowing what thoughts allowed him to win the race...

it is important to know what thoughts would have stopped him from participating...
(pay attention)

I guess…he did not say to himself...

“I am not fit to be in the race. wish I was born as a kangaroo and not a tortoise”

“This hare has definitely rigged the game or bribed the judge already. There is no chance for me to win”

“God is unfair to me that I have to prove myself this way”

If he had any of those going on in his head, I’m sure the world would've NEVER witnessed the epic race.

Instead. The Tortoise showed up to the race.

He ran the race and won it. It is that simple!

He got the programming right in his head…

"I signed up for the race, I want to win the race…so I am going to run...!"

No self-doubt, no self-loathing, No blaming others or the GOD for inadequacies. He ran…!

Because he got his programming right…

he channelled all his energy into finishing the Race

Remember: wherever the mind goes, the energy flows!

But that is not the case with most of you…

You quit before you even start or quit before you finish…

ONLY because you lose energy to certain thoughts and Crash! ( instances flashing in mind already?!)

The moment your mind goes into blaming yourself, others or the world - your energy gets diverted from the original stuff you set out do!

Remember: wherever the mind goes, the energy flows!

Channel all your energy into what you set out to do and you’ll get it done!

Don’t you think this is the lesson The Champion would’ve wanted you to learn?

Also…do you think I can qualify to become a decent animal sports reporter?
