“A challenge only becomes an obstacle

Carrying A Cross


In a certain village in Umbria (Italy), there lived a man who was always bewailing his lot. 
He was a Christian, and found the weight of his cross too heavy to bear.


One night, before going to sleep, he begged God to let him change his burden.


That night he had a dream; the Lord led him to a warehouse.


"Go ahead and change it," he said. 
The man saw crosses of all sizes and shapes, with the names of their owners. He picked an average size cross ;but when he saw the name of an old friend written on it, he left it aside.


Finally, as God had permitted, he chose the smallest cross he could find.


To his surprise, he saw his own name written on it.

“When you do what you love, the seemingly impossible becomes simply challenging, the laborious becomes purposeful resistance, the difficult loses its edge and is trampled by your progress.” 
― Steve Maraboli, 
Life, the Truth, and Being Free







P.S:
Somehow I cannot get myself to subscribe to the idea that God gives us crosses to carry..............by way of problems,difficulties and challenges in life.
I believe that we create and must take responsibility for everything in our lives.....so there is no point blaming God or anyone else for that matter.
However, I do believe that when we ask for guidance and help.....the Creator is always there to help us find a way out of whatever sticky situation we have got ourselves into. Why ? 
That is what unconditional love is all about.
Namaste,
