Who does not like to progress in the world? Everyone wants to achieve the golden pot at the end of the rainbow. This makes the world a very competitive place to live in. However, the beauty of the working ways of the world is that everyone has a chance to achieve the objective.

power of ‘self realization’

2. Who does not like to progress in the world? Everyone wants to achieve the
golden pot at the end of the rainbow. This makes the world a very competitive
place to live in. However, the beauty of the working ways of the world is that
everyone has a chance to achieve the objective. Hence, what or rather who is
stopping you from achieving the target? Read on to know the answer to this
question. This is a wonderful anecdote used by Landmark Forum to drive home
this point beautifully.

3. One goes to office every day to work and earn a living. One find
day the employees turned up as usual and found a big note stuck
up on the main door of the office. The message was something
like this.

4. “We are sorry to inform you that one of the persons in this
organization who had been hindering your growth and preventing
you from realizing your true potential passed away yesterday. May
the soul rest in peace! Kindly pay your last wishes to the departed
soul.”

5. This message set the bells ringing in the minds of the
employees. Each one of them started imagining who
that person might be. They were searching for their
friends and acquaintances within the company.

6. With a heavy heart they entered the office to find that the
coffin was placed in the adjoining room. Only one person
was allowed to go in and pay his / her last respects. The
security was tight. This made the employees all the
more curious.

7. One by one they went inside. The suspense was becoming
unbearable. As they looked inside the coffin, each one became
speechless. What did they find inside that made every one turn
pale with fear? In fact, there was nothing but a mirror inside the
coffin. As every employee craned his or her neck to see who it
was, they found their own reflection in the mirror.

8. Was this some sort of a joke? There was a sign beside
the mirror that said, “It is You.”

9. What does the note signify? It says that the only person
responsible for hindering your growth is nobody by the
self. Everyone feels that he or she has their limitations.
Yes, they do, but the trick to being successful in life is to
break these inhibitions and soar high in the sky.
Remember, the view from the top of the world is a great
one.

10. One can sum up the entire lesson in a few sentences. Jobs may
come and go. Bosses may do so as well. However, you are the
only one who remains constant. Hence, the only person to change
the outlook is the self. If everyone realized this fact, the world
would surely be a great place for you to live in. One can find that
there are as many pots of gold at the end of the rainbow as there
are persons in the world.

11. One must thank Landmark Forum for bringing out this
fact of life.
