Be Inspired No 34: LIFE GIVES BACK WHAT YOU GIVE OUT

“Life is a mirror of our words and actions! Life always gives you back what you give out!

A Japanese man is renovating his house and breaks open the wall. Japanese houses usually have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When he tears down the walls, he finds a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside had been hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious. When he checks the nail, it was nailed five (5) years ago when the house was built! What happened? How did the lizard survive in such a position for five (5) years? It seems impossible and mind-boggling to survive in a dark wall partition for five (5) years without moving.

He stops his work and observes the lizard to see what it has been doing and how it has been eating. Later, another lizard appears with food in its mouth, and he is stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was impaled by the nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past five (5) years.

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature like us, blessed with a brilliant mind, cannot do. It is a great lesson and message from a lizard! Please, never abandon your loved ones. Don’t turn your back on people because they are in difficulty. Don’t see yourself as more intelligent or the best. You may be a bit luckier today, but life is uncertain, and things can change tomorrow. A moment of negligence might break the very heart that loved you against all odds.

Before you say something, just remember, it takes a moment to break, but an entire lifetime to make. God created space within our fingers so that we can hold hands.”
