This story recently dropped into my inbox and I just had to share it with you. I hope you like it is as much as I did.
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. So he invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realised what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer’s neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
So what’s the moral of this story?
Getting to your end goal will not always be easy. Life will test you – you will get all kind of dirt thrown at you to get you to lose track. However, once you can prove to the Higher Being or Life that you are ready to take on the commitment required to achieve your goal, then and only then will you be in a position to achieve the goal that you set out to achieve.
In a nutshell. keep at it, never give up and aim to be the best at whatever it may be …………………… and you will get there….. trust me.
