once upon a time there was a farmer who was very hardworking he used to grow crops in the fields with great efforts and take care of them but often his crops would fail due to natural disaster sometimes there would be Dro sometimes excess rain sometimes scorching sun and sometimes storms due to some reason or the other his crops would get spoiled one day the farmer was sitting under a tree and looking at his ruin crops he angrily looked up at the sky and spoke to God oh Lord people consider you great and omniscient they say that you know everything but I don't think you understand how crops grow if you did there would not be constant floods storms and hurricanes you don't don't know how much loss we farmer suffer if I had the power to control the weather youb would see how well I could grow my crops to his surprise he heard a voice from the sky which responded I give you this power this season you can decide you control the weather for the benefit of your crops the farmer was happy to hear this Divine voice from the sky after few days the farmer planted wheat in his field now the farmer had the power to control the weather as he wanted he prevented his crops from storms rain floods and scorching sun and that year he produced Harvest like he had never produced before the farmer was happy and at the same time was thinking that he will tell God that this is called The Right Use of power after a few more days when the crop was ready to be harvested the farmer started harvesting the crop with great enthusiasm but as soon as he started harvesting he was puzzled he noticed that there was no wheat but just empty husk the plants were huge and should have produced a great crop but there was no wheat at all he was very UPS set and started calling out to God again he shouted loudly oh Lord have you punished me then a voice came from above I have not punished you rather you are responsible for this you did not give your plants a chance to struggle you did not let them face tops endure heavy rains or withstand the scorching Sun you protected them from every challenge that's why all the plants remain hollow inside when plants face storms heavy rain and sunshine they struggle and develop strength this strength born from their struggle is what forms the grain of wheat you did not let them go through the tough times that would have strengthened them all the H remain Hollow because you did not let your plant struggle if we see in our lives then we will find that struggles and challenges are necessary for our growth just as crop need to face harsh conditions to become strong and fruitful people need to go through difficulties to grow and develop challenges are not punishments but opportunities to build strength and resilience a person who has never struggled in life can never become successful an athlete who does not train heart won't win a gold medal a businessman who has not faced early challenges won't be able to grow their business significantly a student who does not study diligently all the year can't expect to be at the top of their class struggle is essential for Success therefore whenever you face problems in in life always remember that these difficulties helps us grow stronger and more capable without challenges there would be no development or personal growth so Embrace his challenge as an opportunity to learn grow and ultimately succeed [Music]

How to be positive in negative situation
one day a professor walked into the classroom and told the students that they would have a surprise test the students felt a mix of curiosity and worry as they took their seats and got freeready for a surprise test the professor handed out the test papers and told everyone to keep the sheets face down until everyone had received one once all the sheets were handed out the Professor asked the students to turn the sheet over to their surprise there were no questions on the paper instead he students saw just a blank sheet with a single black dot in the center the students looked confused and looked at each other trying to figure out its meaning seeing their reactions the professor address the class I want you to write about what you see on the paper even though they were confused the students started to writing to understand this strange task at the end of the exam the professor gathered all the papers and began reading answers loudly one by one as he read it was clear that every student had only written about the black dot on the paper describing about where it was and what it might mean after he finished reading the professor addressed the silent classroom and said I am not going to grade this test I wanted to give you something to think about all of you had a white paper in front of you with small black dot on it but none of you wrote about the white part of the paper everyone just focused on the black dot then he continued you see our lives are just like the sheet of paper our our lives are mostly filled with white paper there is so much room to enjoy and appreciate things but we often focus on the black dots which are problems and setbacks in our lives we have a lot to be grateful for we have nature around us that refresh us every day we have friends who stand by us we have jobs that support us and our family and many other blessings but instead we usually worry about the small health problems we have not having enough money to pay for what we want problems in relationships or the letdowns we face when things don't go the way we want therefore it is important to recognize and appreciate the good things even if they seem small or ordinary whether it is a peaceful walk in the park a good book a love share with a friend or simply a quiet moment for ourselves these are worth noticing and cherishing by shifting our Focus From the black dots to the white space we can find more happiness and satisfaction in our daily life the teacher words stuck aord with the students he went on to say the dark spots are actually very small compared to everything else in our lives but they are what we often focus on and let bother us we should try to pay more attention to the bigger and brighter parts of our Lives be thankful for the good things and enjoy every moment that life offers aim to live so fully and joyfully that your legacy becomes Beacon of happiness and inspiration to others if we see in our lives we will find that our lives are just like a sheet of white paper with a black dot we all face some problems and challenges in our life but there are also a lot of good things around us that we might not notice however these problems do need our attention but they should not overshadow all the positive things we have often we only appreciate what we have after seeing someone who does not have the same things for instance seeing someone without a home can remind us to be thankful for our own likewise meeting someone who is blind can make us grateful for our sight it is common for us to overlook our blessings until we come across someone who is missing them our minds tends to focus on problems but we can train it to see the good things in our life as well choosing to focus on the positive aspects of Our Lives can really change how we see the word this does not mean we ignore our problems or pretend they are not there instead it means we acknowledge them but don't let them dominate our thoughts and feelings we try to maintain a balanced approach giving as much or more attention to the positive as to the negative ative this way of thinking can significantly improve our mental and emotional health it Fosters gratitude which boost happiness and reduce stress it strengthens our resilience making it easier for us to deal with life's challenges and encourages a positive outlook that can lead to a more rewarding and happy life so let us appreciate the white space in our lives and embrace the beauty and blessings each day brings in our life [Music]

However, the truth is that not all open doors are meant for us to enter. In fact, the wisdom to discern which doors to pass through and which to leave closed is one of the most vital skills we can cultivate in our journeys through life.

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)
