Once there was a man who was running a business and it faced severe losses and the man had to sell his properties and cars to continue running the business.
Seeing the situation, the son asked his father, “Why you are still running the business when you are at loss? why don’t you shut the business?
Father smiled and replied “My son, life can bring us many challenges and even can push us down but when we have hope, we can overcome any challenges!
Son, “How hope will help us?”
Father, “Ok, let’s go, I will show you!
Father took his son to a big well and asked his son to jump. Son, in shock, “Father, I don’t know how to swim, So I cannot Jump! But his father pushed his son to the well and went into a hiding place.
Son struggled and he kept on trying to float for close to 5 minutes and after some time when he was about to get drowned, the father jumped and pulled his son out of the well.
The next day, Father again took his son to the well and asked him to jump again. The boy with some hesitation, Jumped into the well. Father again went into hiding. The boy again struggled to keep floating and he pushed harder. Time kept on running and even after 15 minutes he was pushing himself. Then Father came and pulled his son out of the well.
Father asked his son “Why you were pushing harder than yesterday?” Son replied, “Yesterday, I was not knowing what to do, when you pushed me into the well and with fear, I drowned. But today, I know that you will come and save me if I am about to get drowned”.

Today may look different from what you planned a year ago, and this is also true: through every change, now you know, the morning sun still shines. The moon still illuminates the evening sky. And every day, you are starting to see: love is still boundless and so much greater than you imagined it to be. You’ve had to say goodbye to so many things, and yet here you are, still finding peace. Still pursuing growth and wisdom, as you become who you were meant to be.
