RELATIONSHIP IS A SHIP FOR SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY
One day a nail looked at the hammer in pain and asked, ‘Why is it that you always hit me.’
The hammer lowered its gaze and gently replied. ‘I don’t strike you to hurt you but to fulfill your purpose’.
‘But it hurts’ said the nail.
‘I know,’ said the hammer, ‘but without those strokes you would never go deep into the wood, you would never be steady and never will hold anything.’
The nail after little silence asked, ‘Don’t you get tired of hitting me.’
The hammer replied, ‘I do, but when I realize that it is worth it and know that my efforts put you in the right place, my tiredness seems to vanish’.
The nail smiled and said ‘Thank you, for even when it hurts you, you don’t leave me half way through’.
Sometimes life hits us not to break us but to put us exactly where we are meant to be. Pain is also progress.
There are two types of relationships. One gives love, the other gives experience.
Let’s keep the relationships that give love, in our hearts and that which gives experience in minds!
