In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above & lightning starts a forest fire. She looks to her left & sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her. What can the pregnant deer do? She is in labour! What will happen? Will the deer survive? Will she give birth to a fawn? Will the fawn survive? Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire? Will she perish to the hunters arrow? Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry male lion approaching her? She is constrained by the fire on the one side & the flowing river on the other & boxed in by her natural predators. What does she do? She chooses to focus on giving birth to a new life. That is the only thing she has the power to do. Birth the new life. The sequence of events that follows are: - Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter. - He releases the arrow which zips past the deer & strikes the hungry lion. - It starts to rain heavily & the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain. - The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn. In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on all sides with negative thoughts and what seem impossible. Some thoughts are so powerful they tend to overwhelm and overcome us. Learn from the deer. The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to birth a new life. The rest was not in her hands & any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster. Where is your focus? In the midst of any storm where is your faith? - Author unknown You too can succeed. Who says you cant?
