once there was a young king who had a wise minister. the minister had a firm faith in a loving and benevolent universe
he often used to repeat the phrase ‘ everything happens for the best ‘
one day, the king , the minister and some soldiers went out hunting in the forest on the outskirts of the kingdom
they saw a wild deer and chased it into the thick forest and doing this they got separated from the rest of the hunting people. they realized they were lost and all alone
being the cheerful self, the minister said,” don’t worry, they will find us. everything happens for the best
this annoyed the king, he ignored him and was trying a way to Finding his Way back home
searching for their peers, they unknowingly rode further deeper into the forest
the forest floor was covered with thick vegetation. the king’s horse Tripped Over the roots of a large tree and threw him onto the ground with a thud
the king fell on his hand and broke his little finger
the minister ran towards the king for help. he reassured the king ,” you will be fine. everything happens for the best “
still trying to recover from the shock of his fall and being in great pain, he gave his minister a frustrated and angry look and said, ” don’t give me useless advice.
how could this be of any good to me. we have no clue where we are, we have no supplies and on top of that my finger’s broken and you think all this happened for the best ”
the minister did not say anything but tried to cheer him and looked here and there. ” look, there’s a well. we can get some water to drink “, he said
they hurriedly ran towards it. they peeked down the well but was disappointed to see that it was very shallow and had dried up long ago
seeing the frustration on the king’s face, the minister tried to calm him down.
he said , ” don’t worry sir. everything happens for the best ”
they turned towards their horses but found them missing too. they had wandered and ran away into the forest
quite shaken and surprised but with full faith, the minister slowly said , ” there must be something good in this too. everything happens for the best ”
tired, angry and hungry and now without any transport, the king got furious. he had enough of his minister
the king punched him on the nose and Pushed him into the well. ” there you go. now tell me what good you find in there ”
the minister suffered minor injuries. he called out to the king but in vain
the king had enough of his minister and stormed away
the king had just walked a few minutes, when a band of cannibals found him and caught him
the cannibals were overjoyed when they got a human being for their sacrifice to god
the king was petrified, he couldn’t gauge what was happening.
he cried out for help, tried to break free but all in vain
the cannibals took him to their home and started making preparations for the sacrifice to god
as they bought the king to the sacrificial alter, their leader suddenly noticed that the king had a Swollen and broken finger
in disgust, the leader immediately ordered to break free the king
they couldn’t sacrifice a defective person that would bring ill fortune to them
so the cannibals untied the king and let him free
the king got to his legs and dashed from the place and repeated to himself, “ he was right, he was right ”
he found his way back to the well where he had pushed the minister and pulled him out of the well
feeling grateful to be alive, the king gave the minister a big hug and told him how he had Narrowly escaped death
he said ,” you were absolutely right. if i had not broken my finger, i would not be alive. everything does happen for the best. ”

CONCLUSION
everything does happen for our highest and best good
we have to rise above our limited personality traits and evolve ourselves to the higher purpose
rather than getting entangled in normal human thought pattern, let’s evolve our thinking and mindset towards Positivity and hope around us and create a better happy environment around us
from that point, the challenges and set backs that all of us face at some point of time will be seen as opportunities and stepping stones to learn, grow and evolve in life
everything happens for the best
this mantra doesn’t help change the situation but it helps to change us to deal with the situation
finally, it is the inner growth that matters
thinking positively isn’t about expecting the best to happen every time but accepting that whatever happens is the best for this moment
enjoy the time you have now. live in this moment and never look back
whatever happens – don’t stress
brian tracy said , ‘ develop an attitude of gratitude and give thanks for everything that happens to you.
knowing that every step you take, you are achieving something bigger and better than your present situation.
you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you and in that you will be mastering change rather than allowing Change to master you‘
i am no teacher or saint to preach or teach people
but by god’s grace i come upon such references from books and teachings from spiritual books which gives us a lot of wisdom and ways to live our valuable life meaningfully
and teach ourselves and the people whom we associate with – to live with the right code of conduct and to raise our standard of living
making smaller changes in life will not only help us be a better individual
but also bring a valuable change in the society in the current scenario which is very much required
however small it may be but let’s atleast start from OURSELVES
let’s make the world a better place with our small efforts in all aspects of living
so that’s all friends, hope i could bring some insight in you
until next time, keep smiling
much love .. stay happy .. stay blessed … ALWAYS
