One day all the employees arrived at the office and saw a big sign on the door which said: “Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in a room that has been prepared in the gym.” In the beginning, everyone felt sad about the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while, they started getting curious to know who that person was who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company as well.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: “Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least they died!” One by one the employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside, they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could only see themselves.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.” You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your growth, and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change when your partner changes when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. “The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself.”
Moral: The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. The world and your reality are like mirrors lying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of their divine capability to imagine and create happiness and success. It’s the way you face life that makes the difference.
