Thought Provoking - Who's hindering my progress??


 
One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written:

“Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym”.

In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.
Everyone thought: “Who is this guy who was hindering my progress?
Well, at least he died!”.

One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
 
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
"There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: IT IS YOU."

You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change,  when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

“The most important relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself” 

Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality.

The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.

It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference!
 
Provoking Thoughts :  
--- If an egg is broken from outside force .. life ends.
--- If an egg is broken from inside force...  life begins.
Great things always begin from our inside

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.


The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing
well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training the master
had taught him only one move.



“Sensei,”(Teacher in Japanese) the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be
learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.



Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept
training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third
match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became
impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still
amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.



This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a
while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get
hurt, the referee called a time-out.



He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. “No,” the
sensei insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent
made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move
to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament.

He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every
move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was
really on his mind.



“Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”
“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost
mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only
known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”



The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.


Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame God, the
circumstances or ourselves for it but we never know that our weaknesses can
become our strengths one day.


Each of us is special and important, so never think you have any weakness,
never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the
best out of it!
