Focus On The Road / Goal.../ Self

A story...

Once there was a man who was learning how to drive. He had just taken few driving lessons. And now he felt reasonably confident. So one day he decided to give his driving exam. So his instructor sits next to him and asks him to drive on the freeway. The man seemed quite confident and takes it on the freeway.
All of sudden unexpectedly it started to rain , and with time the rain became heavy. The instructor asked the man to put on the wind screen wiper. The man put on the wiper and was totally distracted by the left right left right left .. movement of the wiper. This is because he had never used the wiper before and never drove in rain.
The man started moving his head left right left along with the wiper and at the same time the car also started moving left right left... He got nervous and wanted to stop the car.. The instructor told him " Focus on the road... No stopping "
Soon the other drivers from behind started horning and shouting at him. So he tells the instructor that he wants to stop the car.. The instructor told him " Focus on the road... No stopping "
The wind screen wiper is on and the man is distracted strongly and once again told the instructor that " I cannot drive the car because i am distracted by the wiper and that i want to stop the car now..." The instructor told him " Focus on the road... No stopping " The instructor further told him that " You cannot stop , it is a freeway...
The driver further pleads and requests to slow down the car or take it over the side , or even slow down the wiper... The instructor says, " No , you cannot slow down wiper as the rain is too heavy.. Focus on the road and no stopping.."
Now the driver is totally anxious and agitated because other drivers are horning from the behind and that made him feel more nervous... So now he pleaded once again to the instructor to stop over the car... But the instructor said a Clear NO... No stopping... Focus on the road....
And what happens... At one time focussing takes place finally and when this takes place it does not matter whether the wind screen wiper is fast or slow because focussing has happened...
It is the same in our lives , we feel the same way.... When we feel confident about our goal or path and we start taking off , there will be many distractions in front of us. The distractions come from all corners left and right , left right left... The thoughts are also like wipers distracting us... But if we focus on the road / goal then nothing will distract us in life.. Because we are focussed... More than focussing on the goal first Focus on the Self and the transformation takes place...
