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.
