Study this small story; it will hopefully make a big change in you.

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.

He held it for all to see and asked the students, “How much does this glass weigh?”

50g! …. 100g! …. 125 g! the students answered.

I really don’t know unless I weigh it, said the professor, but my question is: “What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”

Nothing, said the students.

“Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?”  the professor asked.

“Your arm would begin to ache” said the students.

You are right, now what would happen if I held it up for a day?

“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress and paralysis and have to go to hospital for sure!”, Ventured another student and all the students laughed.

 

Very good. But the all this, has the weight of the glass changed? Asked the professor.

NO!!!

“Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress? “ The students were puzzled.

 

Put the glass down! Said one of the students.

 

“Exactly”, said the professor. Life’s problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache. Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

 

It’s important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN more important is to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue, any challenge that come your way.

 

So when you leave the office today, remember to

Put the glass down TODAY!
