A short story on Life-motivation
Once a painter was returning home
after a tiring day. As he reached, he overheard
his children winning, Why don't we have as
many toys as our friends? He heard that. He
thought.
He decided to explain to them that the times
cant be the same. Sometimes they are bad,
sometimes good. He wanted the idea. He entered
the room and begin to set up the table. He
placed a blank canvas and opened a box full
of colors.
His children were fascinated by this art box.
When their father asked them what they wanted
him to paint, they both answered, Father,
paint out a beautiful scenery. So he began
painting. He dipped is, brush in the blue
color and painted a large stroke on the canvas.
He then made another stroke with yellow. The
children shouted, sky the sunny day. As they
tried to figure out what the colors actually
represented. After a few more strokes, he
made countless green dots on the painting
and smeared them over the canvas. The children
were surprised and speculative why the father
had destroyed the painting while smearing
a green color.
But this continued for a while. At time picture
made some sense, and at the other time it
looked very jumbled. However, towards the
end of the painting the children could point
out a clear sky, a dense forest background,
a little Lake, and such a beautiful reflection
of the forest in the Lake. Both the children,
they looked at their father and said, Father,
it's a lovely painting. So the father explained
that look, life is like this picture, a blend
of colors. When I blended all the colors,
it appeared as if I have destroyed the painting.
But it was only the means to blend all the
natural hues so that our lovely Lakes could
shine out. I had a clear image of painting
I intended to make, so even if it appeared
to be disaster, it wasn't. It was simply preparing
the canvas for a stunning picturesque backdrop.
Similarly, life is a blend of wonderful colors.
Sometimes god paint life in a Gray use, but
after a while he repaint it in a lovely, bright
color. Good moment make us happy and the bad
moments prepare us for our future.
We may not always understand the situation,
but it does not mean that the situation will
never change. You must remain focused and
persistent at your effort and trust in the
bigger picture. The bigger picture is a beautiful
journey of life, filled with adventures and
lessons, .
