Get out of comfort zone

Once, there lived a group of vultures in the abundance of a thick forest. The vultures used to fly around in flocks in large groups of 100-150.  One day, they ended up finding an island where they found a lot of food and a very favorable condition to live in. There were a lot of fishes, seagulls, frogs and all that the vultures could imagine. The island was very beautiful as well. The group of vultures got further assured that there is no other animal above them to hunt them down. So all of them desired to stay on the island. The youngsters among the pack were certain that they would stay on the island forever. 

A fews passed by, an old vulture observed that the other vultures are slowly losing their skills; they are no longer being challenged to use their potential, they merely fly. The old vulture summoned every other vulture and shared his thoughts. The old vulture said that they all should go back to the forest and hunt their prey and fly up like they used to be than to live by just eating and losing on their true skills. The young vultures who earlier decided to stay in the island forever quickly disagreed with the old vulture and said the old vulture has lost his mind as he is too old. The other vultures found the old vulture's thoughts genuine and they agreed. The old vulture said they will be flying back to the forest so anyone can join them. The young vultures stayed back and the rest left to the old forest. 

Weeks passed. The vultures who returned to the forest from the island wanted to know how the rest are doing back in the island. So they decided to pay a visit to them. Upon reaching the island the vultures were shocked to find the corpus of the vultures and only a few among the pack were left and even they were wounded. The vultures wanted to know what happened on the island. One among the wounded spoke about the mishap. A ship anchored near the island and in the ship were cheetahs and the cheetahs were set free on the island. The cheetahs' initially didn't attack the vultures but soon they discovered that we are overweight and cannot move quickly or fly away.So they began to feast on us and most of us ended up as meals to the cheetahs' and the remaining are injured as you can see. We made a mistake by choosing to stay.

We must challenge ourselves to become a better version of us

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
