Once upon a time, a farmer named Emmanuel just bought an old mule. One day,the mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule ‘braying’–or whatever mules do when they fall into wells.
After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving.
Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened…and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.
Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back…a thought struck him.
It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back…HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow.
“Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up!” he repeated to encourage himself.
The mule suddenly realized that every minute he gave up was drawing him closer to his death and every moment he refused and focused on how to get out of the well,the more he drew closer to being saved.
Oh yeah! the farmer ,its master gave up on the mule ,the world gave up on the mule ,but one thing was for sure,the mule never gave up on itself.It believed strongly that it still had the chance to be and achieve the heavy task of being the masters favorite .
Have you given up? Do you feel like the whole world is against you? Have you stopped shaking and stepping up ?
Well if the mule could do it and achieved it,then i suggest you get up and redress NOW!!!!!
It doesn’t matter whether the whole world thinks you are incapable, what matters is that you have got what it takes,you have to search deep within you,make up your mind and you will find that bright light in that dark tunnel.
