Post 92 wellness story about sadness THE SAD OAK

Hello again. Here you have the tale of the sad oak tree and it explains one of the causes of sadness, that of not knowing who you are and comparing yourself with others.

Once upon a time, somewhere that could be anywhere, and in a
weather that could be any weather, a beautiful garden, with
apple trees, orange trees, pear trees and beautiful rose bushes, all of them
happy and satisfied. Everything was joy in the garden, except for
a deeply sad tree. The poor tree had a problem: No
he knew who he was.
- "What you lack is concentration", said the apple tree. "Yes.
you really try, you can have tasty apples. Do you see what
easy is it? "
- "Don't listen to him," demanded the rosebush, "it's easier to have roses and
Do you see how beautiful they are? "
And the desperate tree tried everything they suggested and, as
he could not be like the others, he felt more and more frustrated.
One day the owl, the wisest of birds, came to the garden and
see the despair of the tree, exclaimed:
“Don't worry, your problem is not that serious. It is the same as
many beings on earth. I will give you the solution: no
dedicate your life to be who others want you to be ... be you
Know yourself and, to achieve this, listen to your inner voice. "
And, having said that, the owl disappeared.
- "My inner voice ...? Being my self...? Know me ...? ”
the desperate tree asked, when, suddenly,
understood ...
And closing his eyes and ears, he opened his heart, and at last he could
hear your inner voice telling you:
- "You will never give apples because you are not an apple tree, nor
you will bloom every spring because you are not a rose bush. You are an oak
And your destiny is to grow great and majestic, to shelter the
birds, shade to travelers, beauty to the landscape ... You have a mission:
fulfill it. "
And the tree felt strong and self-assured and prepared to be
everything for which it was destined.
Thus, he soon filled his space and was admired and respected by
everyone. And only then was the garden completely happy.
