THE KEY WITHIN YOU

After a tiring day at work, Ben walked home and realized he has forgotten his keys. Ben didn't remember where he left the keys. He frantically turned around and looked along the way from home to work but couldn't find the key. He went to the company, rummaged through the desk, and couldn't find it. He turned again and searched along the path he had taken. The more I look for Ben, the more hopeless it became.

Tired, he rested on a public chair and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dark, he decided to go home and find a locksmith. When he got home, he took out his phone to call the locksmith. When he pulled out his phone, there was a “clink” – something fell to the ground. That was the key he had been searching for. Turns out it was in him.

Many times, we are busy looking for the things we already have. We often keep running after illusions, and distant things, to find happiness but forget that happiness begins with the simple things around us. Many times, we just need to take a deep breath, relax our bodies, and we will feel alive - and let go of what is no longer helping us on our next journey.

I find this saying fascinating: “You cannot stand in the present to connect the future destinations, you can only stand from the future to connect the points of the present. You have to believe that the points will somehow connect in the future. You have to believe in something - your heart, fate, destiny, life, whatever." (Steve Jobs)

What do you believe in so that you will be, do and give with your happy self? You already have it in you.
