Wanted to share one of my favorite parables. It's a great reminder when you're facing a wall whether its in business or in your personal aspirations.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.</span><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">When you decide to look at all obstacles this way, life becomes alot more adventurous and rewarding.
