The Man & the Raft

Ancient Legend of The Man & The Raft

A long time ago there was an Indian in a forest. He was returning home  from a long journey , on his own.

He found himself blocked by a very large river, he could not cross.
Finding himself challenged, he prayed.
God answered him and said
" your in a forest ,cut down some trees and make yourself a raft "

The man did just that and crossed the river.
Before moving on he thought,
"what if I find myself with another river ahead" what would I do?
Should I just carry the raft on my back, just incase? Or should I just keep moving without it?
Worry,fear & doubt filled his mind. He chooses  to carry the raft, not soon after he drops to the ground, exhausted. He hears a voice say to him,
" did I not give you what you needed before?" The only thing you needed to carry was faith, Did I not give you the insight, tools, & supplies you needed  to cross any barrier?

There are some burdens in this world to heavy to carry, if he would have chosen to move on in faith and trust, he would have made it home.

To often we choose to carry doubt,fear, & resentment. I ask you to challenge your perspectives by choosing to carry hope, love, faith and compassion. 
All things that are created are sustained by its creator, wether it be with the ideas given or opportunities that presents themselves.All we need to do is keep moving foward.
