The Obstacle in Our Path In ancient times, a king
had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid
himself and watched to see if anyone would
remove the huge rock. Some of the king's
wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and
simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the
king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the big stone out of the
way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move
the stone to the side of the road.
After much
pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder
had been. The purse contained many gold coins
and a note from the king indicating that the gold
was for the person who removed the boulder from
the roadway.
The peasant learned what many
others never understand. Every obstacle presents
an opportunity to improve one's condition
