馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above and lightning starts a forest fire.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.

Check the circumstances that took place above and ask yourself whether the deer had any influence in the chain of reactions that happened to her enemies right in front of her very eyes.

In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on 伪ll sides with negative thoughts and possibilities. What we must not do is take our eyes off the ball. We must remain focused on the issue at hand.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌
Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us and overwhelm us.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 Maybe we can learn something from the deer.
The priority of the deer, in that given moment was simply to give birth to a baby.The rest was not in her hands and any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 Ask yourself: Where is my focus? Where is my faith and hope?
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 In the midst of any storm, do keep faith in the Creator always. He will never ever dissapoint you. NEVER.
馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌馃崌 Remember, He neither slumbers nor sleeps!! The strong person knows how to keep their life in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say "I'm ok" with a smile.
