Greetings my reader friends, wishing that today you are very happy with your lives and if you are not, what are you waiting for to start feeling it? It’s from you, nothing more than you, that your happiness depends in not on second or third parties.

Yesterday I heard an inspiring story, I loved it and today I want to tell it here for you. I have a feeling in my memories that on some other occasion I have commented or written about this story, but with certainty my mind cannot place me between the truth and mere thought.

From unsplash

In an Asian country, a man who was a few years old but who already had his own family lived in a town where his main enemy was the lack of water.

Very often it would seem to wait for the rains to collect the water from the sky and thus wait for a small pond to fill up from where they were supplied with that vital liquid.

Ultimately, they had to walk many kilometers to almost reach the foot of a mountain, there was forming a small accumulation of water that became dirty with the earth. This was the last option left to them.

The man decides to mentally form a path in a straight line from the town to a hill where the water runs, he thought that if he made a path to there, the water would supply all the inhabitants of the town.

He saw how some families disintegrated, separated because they left the town in search of other opportunities to live. Without water they could not sow, or harvest, or raise their animals, much less undertake any lucrative activity.

The man made his plan and began to dig a ditch, he told his neighbors and relatives that he would undertake this path for the good of all, the townspeople just laughed at his ideas and didn't want to help him.

This is how the man undertook his journey through the town to travel kilometers of distance. Every day he would get up and start digging and scooping up dirt, years passed and he continued in a straight line and with everyone in town calling him crazy and stubborn.

Even his family abandoned him, they never believed in him. He stayed there alone in his house in town because he only thought that he was already very old and did not want to leave the lands of his ancestors. More than 30 years passed before he finally reached the last point where the hill was and the water came down from the mountain.

When he dug that last bit, he was so happy because the water began to flow so quickly through the channel that he had made with such precision. The people of the village were amazed when they saw the water reach the dry village pond and saw how it gradually filled.

Now they no longer called the old man crazy. People began to sow, to cultivate their rich land, to take care of the animals again. Many people communicated what was happening in this town and many of those who left returned.

The older man has already been crossing borders through the comments of people for his feat carried out by himself, for more than 30 years.

He never lost faith in himself, nor did he allow other people's offenses to minimize him. He was faithful to his thoughts and his ideas.

I liked the story because this man was the type of person who is undeterred by the judgments and bad opinions of others. It’s something that we face daily when we want to undertake some activity in our lives and people who do not have as broad a mind as those who have clear thoughts about their idea decide to sabotage your spirit and bend it so that you do not carry out your plan.

Little by little they can create gaps of uncertainty in your mind and undermine your idea to the point of making you give up on the idea and give up. Until another person comes who doesn't care about the negative ideas and opinions of others and begins to put their ideas into physical form and achieve it.

What makes you fail in your plan to move forward? The others with their negative and discouraging opinions? No, not my dear reader. You and only you are responsible for the decisions you make, if you decide to pay attention to those nefarious envoys of envy, then you will be responsible for not completing your plans, not them. There are no culprits, there are only people who do not have enough capacity to stand firm and faithful to their life plans.

It does not depend on your level of education, it does not depend on your culture, it does not depend on external factors, it only depends on you that you achieve your goals and meet your objectives without expecting others to help you or not along the way.

Fight for your ideas and stay firm. God gave you a fighting and winning spirit, you are his prince on earth, you are his beloved son. He will always give you the strength to move on. Count on him and achieve it!

Thank you all my dear readers and sponsors. On this occasion I want to thank @zolabundance2 for their sponsorship renewal.

The man's faith is strong and that fact that he didn't let people's word get to him. Even when he was called all sort of names and left alone by his families, he still did good for the villagers. That's a great act of selflessness that we should all embrace. Thanks for this story ma'am, it a motivation on never giving up in life no matter what is thrown at us. I miss you though, have been so busy I missed your articles 😥.

This is a very nice story to learn from. This kind of experience occurs to us in various ways, whenever we want to take a move or advance to a certain level, People will give out their opinions and most times these opinions are dream Killers, but it takes determination and firmness to continue with the dream even if it looks hard at the beginning.

I love this story and how the man activated his faith and believed in himself even when other people were calling him crazy and criticizing him. Still, he kept on for many years until he got his result.

Thanks for sharing this as we really need not to give up but keep going not minding what people say or how they feel about our opinions. What matters most is that we believe in ourselves.

Thanks Mom for this interesting lesson. That's why it's always important for one to follow his/her heart no matter what resistance others might offer so long as you don't hurt anyone. At the end of the day, one would be proud of one's achievement and the people who had hitherto thought they were better than you would celebrate you.

You have that kind of mentality too. You are an intelligent person with great potential, only you have not looked for your ways to be creative. When you find an idea to make a goal fight against all odds to achieve it because your greatest power is in your mind.

Que bueno que no perdió la fe y siguió sus instintos. Gracias a esa perseverancia muchos han conseguido el éxito en sus vidas. La verdad es que la gente tiene la particularidad de criticarte y bajarte el animo con sus comentarios, pero es mejor taparse los oídos y creer en lo que eres y haces.

There is only one true reason why people don't succeed. They give up early. Difficulties, failures are all temporary annoyances. But if a person stops trying, he doesn't even have a chance of success. Very instructive article, thank you.

I love this man. I am easily affected by the judgment of others and when they say I am incapable of something, I always think to myself that I can't do it because that's what everyone are saying about me.

But this story you shared gives me a different view in life. We shouldn't mind what others think about us, we should continue and ignore their words.

The most important thing to know is that the limits to your goals are in your mind. You can never allow someone to limit you. Your great power and strength is within you because you are stronger and more capable than you think.
