Once upon a time, there was a place that could be any place, and at a time that could be any time, a beautiful garden, with apple trees, orange trees, pear trees and beautiful roses, all of them happy and satisfied.

Everything was joy in the garden, except for a deeply sad tree. The poor man had a problem: " I didn't know who he was."

What was missing was concentration, the apple tree told him, if you really try, you can have tasty apples. "Do you see how easy it is?"

Do not listen, demanded the rosebush. It's easier to have roses and "Do you see how beautiful they are?"

And the desperate tree, tried everything they suggested, and since he could not be like the others, he felt increasingly frustrated.

One day the owl came to the garden, the wisest of the birds, and seeing the despair of the tree, exclaimed:

Do not worry, your problem is not so serious, it is the same of many beings on earth. I will give you the solution: "Do not dedicate your life to being like others want you to be ... Be yourself, know yourself, and to achieve this, listen to your inner voice." And with that said, the owl disappeared.

My inner voice ...? Being my self...? Know me ...? He wondered the desperate tree, when suddenly, he understood ... And closing his eyes and ears, he opened his heart, and finally he could hear his inner voice saying:

"You will never give apples because you are not an apple tree, nor will you bloom every spring because you are not a rose bush. You are an oak, and your destiny is to grow large and majestic. Give shelter to the birds, shade to the travelers, beauty to the landscape. .

You have a mission "Deliver it".

And the tree felt strong and self-confident and prepared to be all that it was intended for. Thus, he soon filled his space and was admired and respected by all. And only then was the garden completely happy.


Only we can know who we are
