Stop Worrying and Start Living

by bluesky
There was a lion in the forest. It was always worrying.
The lion thought, "I have good strength as also nails and teeth like iron. But what is the use?  The screaming of this wild cock makes me shiver. Is this a life to live in fear?”
At that time, there came an elephant. It moved its ear back and forth and walked slowly.
Seeing the elephant, the lion asked ‘hey jumbo, what are you worrying about? No one can fight with you. Seeing your body, all the animals are afraid of you. Why do you look worried?’
The elephant replied, ‘here are you, did you see a wasp flying near my ear? If it enters my ear, that's all. I may die. That's why I am shaking my ears so that the wasp cannot get into the ears’.
The lion thought it out. ‘If I think that the elephant with such a big body is not worried, I am wrong. It is also worrying. If so, everyone seems to have something to worry about.
Then the lion understood, by worrying, our life is not going to change the way we want. Not only that, but by worrying we miss to be happy to look at the nice things that are around us.
Since then, the lion stopped worrying and started living.
