Inspiring Life Story:
The story is of the Zen master and the dogs in the temple, which is often been told and has a strong message that has changed lives..
The story goes that while visiting a little Himalayan kingdom, the master decided to visit the temple there.
As he walked in with his local guide through the temple gates, he saw two large, ferocious dogs chained to the iron grills at the entrance.
Their tongues were wagging, the saliva was dripping. And they were barking non-stop. Just the kind of sight that could instil fear in anybody's mind!
"Don't worry, master!" said the helpful guide. "I know they look really scary. But the chains are very strong, and there is no way the dogs can break free!"
The master continued to walk through the long courtyard, towards the main temple. Even as he tried to concentrate on the temple's history that the guide was narrating, he kept looking back at those dogs. And his ears seemed to be echoing with the noise of their barking.
And as he looked back one more time, he could not believe what he saw. The dogs had broken free from their chains, and were running towards him. Instantly, the master started to run too.
Directly towards the dogs! Yes, he began to run -- not away from the dogs, but towards them!
And guess what happened? The dogs were so surprised to see the master running towards them that they quietly turned and went back towards the gate!
Human beings often have a habit of creating fear in their mind, which basically stops and hold them back in in order to get successful in their respective careers. I would encouage everyone to get fearless while approaching to any living object in this world, as it can't hurt you until you allow.
An ideal example would be this
Note: Don't try the above formula with buses or metro as they are non-living things. If you let them kill you then they will surely kill you. No offense to Superheros. ;)
Hope you have a fearless day.
Be Fearless, Get Successful.
