To make sustained progress in business, career or ministry, your heart (the faculty of thinking) must be well-defended. Enjoy this story of two boats.
Case 1:
In 1993, Hugo Vihlen was able to cross the Atlantic Ocean (from the US to England) on a boat called Father’s Day - a tiny boat measuring 5 feet, 4 inches long – over a period of 115 days.
Case 2:
On April 13, 2022, at least 29 people died when a boat capsized in Nigeria’s Sokoto State, in the Northwest of the country. The boat was carrying 35 people, mostly women, across a dam in Shagari Local Government Area when it sank. Divers managed to rescue 6 people, the governor said. Burials have been conducted for the dead.
Moral of the Story:
Your real problem is not the volume of negative comments and attitudes around you but the fact that YOU (Yes, YOU!) allow them to enter your heart. If your heart is porous, even a little stream of negative waters in one day can sink you. If your heart is well-defended, you can successfully ride on an ocean of negative waters for several months until you safely reach your destination.
Great!!!. Thanks for this
