The stone in my Path

 The Stone in my Path.

I was walking along my regular path early morning. 

It had rained heavily previous night.

The path was full of Stones.

Some small

Some big.

The small stones got kicked off.

The bigger stones hurt my foot.But I managed to move on.

Then came a huge boulder which had rolled off to block the narrow path.

.......

Life journey too is very similar. 

We will be walking our own path daily.

But at times there come circumstances and situations suddenly and along with them come hurdles and difficulties 

The minor ones are pushed away or tackled easily just like the small stones in my walking path.

Some situations hit us badly but we recover and move forward....just like those bigger stones hitting my foot.

But......

Some situations and people related...are tough and indomitable.....just like that big boulder which had rolled down obstructing my path.

Then what do we do......

I got fellow walkers and together tried to push the boulder......similarly we must seek help of people to find solutions to our problems or help us face the situations. 

But the boulder was strong.I changed my route .Similarly, if we can't find solutions for our problem, then better we find other ways or other path to our life journey  .

But,the rains had made all roads strewn with trees fallen and boulders rolled over.

I walked back home and waited for the road to be cleared.

Similarly, if all doors seem closed and no end of  our difficult situation 

We must not lose heart .We must patiently wait for the situations to resolve in our favor.

The morning walk that day taught me....

Life is unpredictable. 

Life journey will always near be same.There will be all sorts of difficult situations and people along.

Nobody and nothing is permanent....... Especially the difficult ones

Seek help.

Find alternatives.

The life and the path become " Toxic" only if we allow the disappointment of situations and negativity of people around to enter inside us.

Only if we give lot of importance to the unfavorable situation and people around ....

Do we get hurt or affected internally.

I accepted situation where I had to setback without completing my target steps for that day.I completed the steps doing other chores.The next day I walked additional steps.

In a few days time,the difficult situation of that morning was out of my mind completely. 

What if the whole week had rained heavily...and I just couldn't come out of my house for my morning walk and my target steps ....

Similarly in life everything may seem  bleak and dark...

In such circumstances.just wait for the situation to pass .and path to get cleared.

Tomorrow is always another day.

Enjoy the morning walk and the Journey of Life.
