It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. Two school going friend in a small town had a crazy idea.
They rounded up three goats from a farm nearly and painted the numbers 1, 2 and 4 on the goats. That night they let their goats loose inside the school building. The next morning when the teachers, staff, children entered the school, they could literally smell something was wrong. They saw goats dropping all over the place and concluded that the goats had entered the building.
Now it was a mission to locate the goat. A team was assigned to look for the goats.And very soon the three goats with the numbers 1, 2 and 4 painted on them were found. The school authorities were relieved but simultaneously worried thinking "We found 1, 2 and 4. Where is the goat number 3? "
SUPPORT US BY SUBSCRIBING TO @Tsm77 The search team spent the rest of the day looking for the goat number 3.
There was panic, frustration. The school declared a holiday for the students only undo their joy.
The teachers, helpers, canteen boys everybody was busy in looking for the goat number - 3. Which of course was never found.
You know why?
Because it simply did not exist. Aren't we all like the search team in the school?
We have our goats right in front of us. We all have a unique ability that no one in the world can replicate. But instead of making the most of what we have, instead of focusing on our gifts, our strengths, our potential we often continue to look for the elusive, missing, non-existent goat No- 3.
We keep worrying about and chasing the missing piece - what we lack, what we have tried hard for and never found, what doesn’t exist in us. And I am not even saying that we shouldn’t try. We have to try our best before knowing something is not meant for us. But after trying hard for long and still not being able to reach even the basic success in doing something, I guess it’s time to ask ourself this question " Wouldn’t it be better to focus on the goats 1, 2 and 4 that I have and do something with them rather than chasing goat No- 3 which simply doesn’t exist in you?
