WE ARE BORN TO WIN!!

One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my
Spirituality.. I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last
talk with God. God, I said. Can you give me one good reason not to quit
His answer surprised me...

Look around, He said. Do you see the fern and the bamboo
Yes, I replied.

When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from
the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from
the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year
the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from
the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.

In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would
not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed.
I would not quit. He said.

Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months
later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five
years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed
to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could
not handle. He said to me.

Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling,
you have actually been growing roots

I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.

Don't compare yourself to others. He said. The bamboo had a different
purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful.

Your time will come, God said to me. You will rise high

How high should I rise I asked.

How high will the bamboo rise He asked in return.

As high as it can I questioned

Yes. He said; Give me glory by rising as high as you can.

I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope these words can
help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you!

Life gives u thousand reasons to cry..... Show that you have million
reasons to smile. Keep smiling and enjoy life no matter how hard it may
be
