Pushing the Rock - Thoughts from Ordinary Joe
Just today someone asked me to share with them the most profound words that have affected my life that I can remember. Here’s what I told him, "God told a man you see that rock over there I want you to go push it. The man looked at the rock and thought to himself, that's not a rock that's a boulder. Never the less the man did as God had commanded and went over to the rock and started pushing with all his might. Hours went by, and then days and the man finally went back to God and said, I tried and I tried with all my might to move that rock and it didn't move. Then God said, I didn't command for you to move the rock I just told you to go over there and push the rock!”
As I stated earlier that is the most profound thing, the most profound words I've heard my entire life. I realized that my entire life I had been trying to move the rock when all I had to do was push the rock. That story epitomizes everything I've tried to pass on in all my other essays leading up to this. The changes I want for my life will never happen if I keep trying, all I need do is to do it. You can read all the self help books in the world and it won't matter until it finally clicks and the light comes on and it makes since to you. I'm going to go into my personal story but I will say that story above has opened my eyes and helped me in ways that I can't put into words, I hope it helps you to! Be famously you!
