The Sky Is Falling

Title sounds interesting...right??? I read this phrase for the first time while reading an old fable. The story is about a small sweet little chicken who believes that the sky is falling just because an oak nut falls on his head and he gets afraid because of that. It scares him so much that he starts to tremble all over. He shakes so hard, half his feathers fell out. He decides to tell the king about this and gets join by his friends Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey and Turkey Lurkey in the quest. They meet a cunning fox called Foxy Loxy in their way. When they tell their aim of meeting the king, he asks Chicken Little that how he knows that the sky is falling. The chicken little tells him that he saw it with his own eyes, heard it with his own ears and a bit of it falls on his head, showing him the acorn. Foxy tells them that he knows where the king lives. He leads them to his own den and nobody ever comes out after that!!! The moral of the story is not to be a chicken every time but to have courage. It teaches not to believe everything you are told. It may be possible that the things which you believe are the only one which keeps you unaware of the path of light and is the only hindrance in your success. Stay away from the foxes which always try to take a wrong benefit of yours for their own well being. Make yourself so strong that nobody ever dare to make a fun of you!!!

The phrase “The sky is falling” refers to that phobia and anxiety which develops within inside our minds due to our unrealistic fears and others take benefit of that. Do not get convince by those like Chicken Little gets convince about the falling sky which finally, leads to his demise. A child always born fearless and is away from all kind of evils. But slowly as he grows, he starts to accept the fears from the world around him. He starts to believe the things which he has seen in his childhood or have been taught by his parents and the teachers when he was a small child. If you don’t want yourself to be called as a Chicken Little then you must have to come out of your orthodox views. Live a flexible life. It’s never bad to change yourself for something good. People respect those who respect themselves. People who don’t know how to sort out their matter themselves, they make fun of their own. Do not believe others on the things which are wrong and never let them to take benefit of yours. Here is one more very famous old story about a lion and a rabbit which I remember since my childhood. Once there was a cruel lion. He offers to all the animals in the forest that if one of them comes to him as his meal for the day, he would not kill anyone else among them. All the animals agree to this. One day, it’s a rabbit’s turn and it takes quite long to reach the lion. The lion asks him the reason for being late. He acts wisely and said, Sir! I got stopped by another lion, who also claims to be the king of the jungle and he wants to meet you. So do I, the furious lion say. The rabbit takes the lion to a well and shows him his reflection in the water of the well. The lion jumps into the well to catch his opponent and gets drained. How intelligently, the rabbit gets rid of the wild beast!!! If he has also acted like Chicken Little, he could have also died like him. But he acted wise and saved himself!!!

To loose your courage in difficult times always results in a failure. You always have a choice how you respond to whatever occurs in your life. If you are asleep to the process of how life works, life hits you harder. Try to learn something new everyday from the life’s experiences. The more you resist the lesson to be learned, the more intense and painfully it revisits you. If you pay proper attention to the lessons you learn and assume personal responsibility for your growth in life, nobody would ever be able to stop you. Otherwise this world is always ready to put hurdles in the path of your success. Don’t be a chicken little. Don’t get afraid. The sky is never gonna fell on your head!!!
