HOW TO FIND STRENGTH IN DIFFICULT TIMES
How does one get strength when in pain? Successful people convert setbacks into comebacks. They step back, plan, prepare and learn from the pain. They develop better possibilities to achieve their goal, mission, and vision. They say to themselves, “You are stronger than your weakness.” They find their strength and come up with better possibilities. Someone rightly said, “When bad things happen to good people, they make themselves a better version.” The question is, how does one create a better version of themselves? Perhaps a parable will help you see my point of understanding, about moving from pain to possibility.
Possibility: It’s In Your Hand Dear
In the beautiful city of Udaipur, India, there lived an old man who was a genius. Legend had it that he could answer any question anyone might ask of him. Two of the local boys figured they could fool the old man, so they caught a small bird and headed for his residence. One of the boys held the little bird in his hands and asked the old man if the bird was dead or alive. Without hesitation the old man said, "Son, if I say to you that the bird is alive, you will close your hands and crush him to death. If I say the bird is dead, you will open your hands and he will fly away. You see, son, in your hands you hold the power of life and death. In your hands, you hold the seeds of failure or the potential for greatness. In your hands, you hold the possibility of pain and pleasure dear. Your hands are capable, but they must be used — and for the right things to reap the rewards you are capable of.”
After a setback, you should find the comeback. In every obstacle, you need to see the opportunity. Even in this hopeless world, you see yourself a great hope. We see a launch of new car, new product, a new innovation, moving from petrol to post card to WhatsApp. It’s all about change form pain to possibilities, and it all begins with a change.
