He was laid off and he started slipping into depression. He felt that he was not experienced enough or he was not performing well or there might be many more reasons he thought of. The way he was going down, nothing could happen. He did not get a job for next 10 months which was further proving to him that he was not good enough. One day when his father could no longer see his son like this, his father decided to talk to him. His father took him to a jungle and showed him an ant hole. Lots of ants were carrying grains bigger than themselves. But sometimes, they fell and dropped grains due to some obstacle. Now, few picked up again and started moving. He asked his son? Was it’s ants fault that they fell? Few have started again and few have lost it. Which ant do you want to be? Most of us are carrying bigger than self load.Sometimes due to some obstacle we lost ourselves. Now we can trust own strength and pick up again or go awry!
His son got the point, gathered his strength and started applying with new faith. This time he did not care if he was rejected, all he know was he had to find a job. In next one month he could find one.
In another case, after 10 years of relationship, his girl friend left him for someone else. For three years he kept thinking of reasons and he could not find enough. He consulted his mother and his mother took him to temple. His mother showed his Ram Sita. She asked him, that Ram ji was asked to leave kingdom and live in exile. Was he a bad son? If he was God and he did not have any fault, then why do you think if your girl has left you, fault has to be with you? It could be her own reasons?
He knew what he had to do. He moved on with his life.
Often when something happens we blame ourselves. We find faults and reasons. But that is the time we need to trust ourselves more to make things better.
Have faith in God he is backing you up and have faith in yourself.
