We don't see what we have till we either lose it or see it from another person's angle. Here is a beautiful story that would make you value your life and what all you have.
There was once a farmer who complained about the lake on his property that always needed to have the fish thinned out. The rolling hills made it more difficult for him to run the fence rows. Sometimes he couldn’t even see his cows because they had so much territory to cover and at night it was so dark that it would get difficult to walk from the barn back to his house.
He decided to sell the place and move somewhere really nice. He called a real estate agent and made plans to sell his property.
A few days later he picked up the local newspaper to look for advertisements of a new house. His eye caught an ad for a lovely country home in an ideal location – quiet and peaceful.
It had soft rolling hills, a pristine lake stocked with bass, a classic barn surrounded by natural flowers and soft grass, and came with a wonderful herd of Black Angus cows. It was just close enough to a small town to be convenient but far enough out to be uncluttered by city lights, traffic and noise.
The farmer quickly called the real estate agent and showed interest in buying that property. To his surprise, he discovered, the ad was for the property he currently owned and wanted to put on sale.
The farmer realised what he was missing. He said, “I’ve changed my mind. I’ve been looking for a place like that all my life.”
It’s easy to complain about your current situation. But, sometimes, just like the farmer, we need a new perspective on our circumstances to realise that our lives aren’t as bad as we believe.
