The Obstacles in Our Path
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

I hope you enjoy this. I have read it before, but it is something that doesn't hurt to read again, Lynn

 ConsultantCodes ... the internet's obstacle. I like your story. I think that sometimes people want to remove obstacles, they just don't know how. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to overcome is the fear of asking for help. Nov 1st 2007 22:11 |
