Lighthouse

 Lighthouse

 

A businessman was very disturbed, and he started walking on a seashore. A small child came closer to the businessman and started asking some questions, the businessman refused to answer and started walking forward.

While he was walking forward, he saw a young boy who was determined to catch a running crab.

 After a few minutes, he saw a young man running with vigour on the seashore.

By the time the sun started setting, he decided to go back, and he came across a middle-aged man, who was passionately selling some seashells.

Finally, he got into his car and saw an old man, who asked, can you drop me near the lighthouse, the businessman agreed.

The old man picked up a conversation by asking "Gentleman, you looked very tensed, if you don't mind can I know, what is disturbing you?"

The businessman with hesitation said " Business tension"

The old man said, " I can empathize with you, I too was a businessman".

The businessman said, "thank you".

The old man pulled a Tab from his bag and said, If you don't mind can you stop the car for a while, the businessman agreed.

The old man opened the Tab and handed over the same to the businessman and told him to play the video

The businessman saw the child who came closer to him while he was walking on the sea shore, the old man asked " did you answer his question, the businessman said, "no I didn't", the old man said, now see this child, the businessman was surprised to see his face and said, "it's me", the old man said, "when you are tensed, connect with your childhood, you can understand the importance of asking questions".

The old man played one more video, where the businessman saw himself as the boy who was determined to catch the crab, the old man said, " Connect with the determined boy, to understand why you should be determined to face the problems".

The businessman asked can you give the tab and saw himself running with vigour, the old man said, " connect with vigour in which you were running when you started the business".

 

The businessman said " this is interesting and saw the middle-aged man who was none other than him, who was passionately talking to his customers., the old man said, " Whenever you are tensed, connect with your different phases of life to rediscover the best qualities you had, you can get some solutions for your problems and help you reinforce the strengths you require in dealing with the problems"

The old man said, you can start the car and they reached the lighthouse, the old man and the businessman got out of the car, and the businessman asked, sir can you introduce yourself, the old man, said " kindly see my image in the water, the businessman was surprised to see his face in the old man's face and looked at the old man. The old man smiled and said " Ask yourself if you are old and mature, how will you handle the problems, you will get better solutions and he disappeared.

The businessman started searching for the old man and lifted his head towards the lighthouse, the old man's voice said, " Every phase of your life is like a lighthouse, which will help you to navigate effectively in your life".

The businessman with a sense of satisfaction walked towards his car and called his wife saying, " I have decided to continue with my business, I have the lighthouse in me".

The wife asked, what do you mean by the lighthouse, the businessman with a smile said a guiding force.

Every disturbing life requires a guiding force, which is either inside us or outside us.
