THE FUNERAL

The main door to the company had a notice which read this:

''Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.''

In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that person who hindered the growth of their colleagues and the company itself.

The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.
Everyone thought, 'Who is this person who was hindering my progress?'

One by one, the intrigued employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They all got to stand near the coffin, and all ended up shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see themselves. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:

''There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth, and it is YOU!''

Your life does not MAXIMALLY change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changes, when your company changes, when your location changes, when your money changes, when your status changes. No, your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs.

Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It is the way you face life itself that makes the difference. The starting point of maturity is the realization that no one is coming to the rescue. Everything you are or will be, is entirely up to you. Have a sorrow-free day!
