Shake off Your Problems

Sharing is caring!

A man’s prized donkey falls into a deep pit. Despite his best efforts, the man can’t get the animal out. Giving up, he decides to bury the donkey alive.

He begins to shovel dirt into the pit. As the dirt falls, the donkey shakes it off and steps on top of it. More dirt is added, and the donkey repeats the process—shaking it off and stepping up.

With each pile of dirt that’s thrown in, the donkey rises higher. By midday, the donkey has climbed out of the pit and is grazing peacefully on the grass.

The lesson? By shaking off the burdens and stepping up, we can rise above any challenge and find ourselves in greener pastures.
