Have you ever wondered what the people and places you know have in common?
Believe it or not, everything you live, everything that happens to you, is related to your own being. Find out with this beautiful story.
A young man arrived at the entrance of a town and approaching an old man asked him:
-What kind of person lives in this place?
The old man answered with another question:
-What kind of person lives where you come from?
“Well, a group of selfish and wicked,” replied the young man. I’m glad I got out of there.
To which the old man replied
-You will find the same here.
That same day, another young man approached the old man and asked:
-What kind of people live in this place?
The old man replied with the same question:
-What kind of people live where you come from?
The young man then said:
-Magnificent people, honest, friendly, hospitable, it hurts a lot to have left them.
“You will find the same thing here,” answered the old man.
A man who had heard both conversations asked the old man:
-How is it possible to give two different answers to the same question?
To which the old man replied:
-Each one carries in his heart the environment where he lives. He who did not find anything new in the places where he was, will not be able to find anything else here. He who found a friend there will also be able to find friends here, because the mental attitude is the only thing in your life over which you can have absolute control.
Everything that happens in our life has to do with what we build. With our attitude.
Maybe you know a person who is “always lucky”. Who permanently wears a smile, who never seems to be going through anything bad.
Actually, maybe I have the same experiences as you. You may be living in the same town, and hanging out with the same people. The key is knowing how to find virtue in everything that you have to know.
If you are able to find the good side of people, if you manage to learn from each experience, then wherever you go, fortune will follow you.
