Play the battle Drums
2022-12-26
Greetings to you this Monday Morning.
A king had many elephants, but one elephant was very powerful, very obedient, sensible and skilful in fighting skills. In many wars, he was sent to the battlefield and he used to return only after getting the victory to the king. Therefore, he was the most loved elephant of the king. Time went by and there came a time when the elephant started getting old. Now he was not able to perform as before. Therefore, now the kings did not even send him to the battlefield but still remain a part of his team.
One day the elephant went to the lake to drink water, but his feet got stuck in the mud there and then went on sinking. He tried a lot, but he could not remove himself from the mud. People came to know from the sound of his screams that the elephant was in trouble. The news of the trapping of the elephant also reached the king. All the people, including the king, gathered around the elephant and made various efforts to get him out. But after trying for a long time, there was no way out.
At that time, an old wise retired minister suggested to the king that the *battle drums* should be played around the lake. The listeners felt bizarre how the trapped elephant would come out by playing the drums. As soon as the drums of war started ringing, so did the change in the gesture of that troubled elephant.
At first, the elephant slowly stood up and then came out of the mud on his own, shocking everyone.
Moral:
There was no lack of physical ability in the elephant, only the need to infuse enthusiasm within. To maintain enthusiasm in life, it is necessary that humans maintain purposeful thinking & mindset and do not let despair dominate
In today’s challenging times we all need to infuse ourselves & people around us with Hope & enthusiasm by playing the battle drums so that we will again Celebrate an Abundance of good health, Joy & Happiness tomorrow………………make it a great week ahead!!!
