Once a wise man held a seminar to teach people how to get rid of sorrows in their lives and pursue happiness. Many people gathered to hear the wise man’s words.
So finally the day of the seminar came. The man entered the room and told a very funny joke to the crowd. The crowd roared in laughter.
After a couple of minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.
When he told the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore. They all started looking at each other and wondering what is the point? They started talking to each other that they were scammed.
The wise man stood and watched them for a moment. After a while, he smiled and said,” You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why do you cry over the same problem over and over?”
After that, every member of the audience became quiet and starred at the wise man as they all understood the point he just made.
Lessons from this story:
As you see from the story there is no point in stressing yourself over the same problem/challenge you are facing. As it goes with the joke at first sure you feel stressed but then there is no point in continuing this kind of behavior. Once you acknowledge your problem/challenge it’s time to work on the solution and not stress yourself because of it, and why it had to happen to you. It happened, now solve it.
