The Two Stones
A sculptor once found two stones lying beside the road.
He took both to his workshop.
With the first stone, he started carving. Every strike of the hammer hurt. After a few blows, the stone said, “Enough. I can't take this anymore.”
So the sculptor left it aside.
He picked up the second stone and kept working.
Days passed. Hundreds of strikes. Dust everywhere. But the stone stayed there.
Months later, the sculptor finished a beautiful statue.
People came from far away to see it.
The first stone watched everything and thought, “Why did he choose that stone and not me?”
The answer was simple.
Both stones had the same potential. Only one was willing to stay through the process.
Your preparation may be painful right now. Some days you will feel tired, frustrated and unsure of yourself.
But don't walk away just because the process is difficult.
The same pressure that feels unbearable today may be shaping the version of you that you always wanted to become.
Stay with the process.
Your turn will come. 🇮🇳
