Motivation and Psychology

🧠 Mindset 🧠

There was an old woman who cried all the time. Her elder daughter married an umbrella merchant, and the younger one married a noodle seller.

When the old woman saw that the weather was nice and the day would be sunny, she cried and thought, "Horrible! The weather is so good, but no one will buy an umbrella from my daughter's shop! What to do?"

If the weather was bad and it was raining, she cried again, this time because of her younger daughter: "If the noodles don't dry in the sun, my younger daughter won't be able to sell them. What should I do?"

And so she mourned every day, regardless of the weather: either because of her elder daughter or because of her younger one. One day she met a monk who felt sorry for the old woman and asked her why she cried so bitterly. The woman poured out all her sorrows to him, but the monk just smiled and said:

— Change your mindset, you can't change the weather anyway: when the sun shines, don't think about umbrellas for your elder daughter, but think about the noodles for the younger one: "The sun is shining! The noodles will dry well for my younger daughter, and the business will be successful." When it rains, think about umbrellas for your elder daughter: "Here comes the rain! The umbrellas at my daughter's shop will surely sell well."

The old woman was very happy with the advice, thanked the monk, and began to act according to his recommendation. Since then, she no longer cried, but rejoiced for her daughters all the time, which added joy to her life and to her daughters', who could not console their poor mother.

Moral: The truth is as old as the world - if you can't change the circumstances, change your attitude towards them. Just look at things differently, and life will flow in a different direction. 🌤️🌧️
