Winter Lesson

It was a cold winter morning. The temperature was around 4 or 5 degree Celsius. I had to attend my college lectures. I was thinking, should I take bath or not? It had been three days since I had taken a bath. But even the mere thought of touching the water was scaring me. I opened the tap, touched the water. "Oh god! It's too cold, I can't take bath". And I gave in. I went to college, attended the first lecture. And again I was unable to concentrate. I felt lazy. I was yawning constantly. Somehow I managed to attend another lecture and came back home. Whole day I wasn't able to focus on anything.

Next morning, again the temperature was same. This time I had to bath anyhow. I didn't want to yawn during the lectures. I wanted to feell fresh and lively. Again I opened the tap and let the water flow till the bucket was full of water. I touched the water. I stirred the water constantly with the mug. I took a mug of water but then emptied it back on the bucket. Again I took a mug of water, this time I gathered some courage, filled the mug with water and showered it over my body. Followed by more mugs of water till the bucket was emptied. I felt fresh and energetic. I attended all the lectures with full concentration. I enjoyed the whole day.

That's how life goes, "if we settle for less then we won't get satisfaction and when we push ourselves out of our comfort zone then we enjoy the fruit forever".
