THE OBSTACLE IN OUR PATH

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he

hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.

Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and

simply walked around it.

 

Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but

none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a

peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the

boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the

stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he

finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables,

he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The

purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating

that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the

roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

 

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's

condition.
