The Donkey & The Pit

in #life7 years ago

There goes a story of a donkey who one day fell into a pit. The owner tried various methods of trying to rescue his donkey from this pit but failed over and over again. Eventually he had given up and decided to bury the donkey in the pit and put it out of its misery. So he began to slowly fill the pit with sand.

While filling the pit he did not hear any distress sounds from the donkey and began to wonder how could it be. He then looked into the pit and saw the donkey onto of the sand which he filled the pit with. As the owner threw sand into the pit, the donkey would shake the sand off and slowly begin to elevate. So the owner continued until the donkey was out of the pit.

The lesson behind this, it that no matter what people say about you, do to try harm you or tarnish you name, choose to not allow it to make you but shake it off and begin to rise above it. When people try to bring you down, it only means that you are above them. Do not allow what people say about you to determine who you are.

You are born to be great, so just be great.
