Let the Hope Sprouts

Let the Hope Sprouts…

On a certain day the devil decided to retire. Because he is retiring, he decided to put all the tools of his trade for a garage sale, so he opened up ‘discount sale all the devil’s tools’. There is a huge rush. There are all kinds of things; anger, hatred, jealousy, this one, that one, everything on the table. All the people went and bought it up in no time. Everything was sold out in the first hour; all his tools. The whole humanity has bought it, isn’t it?

But he had still one more bag, and a boy went and asked the devil, “What’s in that bag?”

“Isn’t that for a sale?”

He said, “No, no. These are the priced tools, just a souvenirs I want to keep them, because they have worked best to do my job.

Boy said, “No, I want it, please. Won’t you sale that?”

Devil said, “No, no, no. These two tools I have in my bag, they worked so wonderfully well in my whole career that I would like to keep them as my souvenirs.”

Once boy said, many other people joined behind him and requesting, “Please put it on sale, put it on sale…”

Then the devil pulled out and said, “Okay, if you give me a good price, let me put it on sale.”

Then, he pulled out ‘frustration’ and ‘depression’ and put it on the table.

These two are the best of devil’s tools. If we want to destroy our life, frustration, we start with frustration and develop into depression, we are there. There’s nothing worse than that. We will work against own self.

People always kept account of money and things that they have, but very few people kept accounts of how they are or they are progressing or regressing or what is happening with them.

We just carried away by very small matter, we think that what is happening in life, itself is our entire life. We never see life in its own different meaning. Life is much more than the incidents happening in our life. It is full of possibilities and opportunities, the choice depends upon an individual whether he wants to explore and discover the entire new horizon or just wants sit in comfortable place and being sad in the name of destiny.

A bunch of miserable incidents are not our life, it is just a small part of our life.

Don’t decide too early that there’s no possibility, no opportunity to grow once again.
