Is Luck by chance?



When your attitude is right, you convert your problems into opportunity.....
and if we are humble even a donkey can teach us this lesson!!!


Luck always favours the successful!!!

Everytime, we hear a success story or see a successful person, we unconsciously utter “how lucky!”. We by default assume that person’s life to be easy and success given to him dressed in a plate. We attribute the success always to the luck of that person. We very rarely look into his life before him being successful. It’s always full of situations that YOU and I would term as PROBLEMS in life. It’s the same situations that the LUCKY successful person converted into STEPPING STONES towards success.

Don’t believe me? Then read on……..

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.

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 realized 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. He was astonished at what he saw. With each 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 happily trotted off!

IT MEANS :

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well (of despair and self-pity) is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest well just by going, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.


Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

There is no perfect situations in life, just opportunities in the guise of challenges waiting to happen. and to make them happen depends entirely on you and you alone.

Complaining mind sees cloud in every silver lining. A grateful heart and a person with gratitude sees silver lining in every cloud. In gratitude, we are placed in a state of mind which talks of opportunities of self-growth in a given situation. It talks of stock of things that you possess and how to use them to the best of your abilities to grow in life – both internally and externally. Every successful person thanks the situations in his life for what they are – because they made him what he is today. So, you wanted a success mantra – take the first one – be grateful for all that you have and plan to create the life of your choice out of these possessions of yours.

As you plan your success route, I go to dream on – ‘cause only those who dared to dream make it happen – sooner or later…..

Wishing you all a successful journey, I remain still
