The Greatest Mentor of All


A Hindu legend says that once upon the Earth, all people were gods. However, they abused their powers. Brahma, who was the god of all gods, decided that the divine spirit should be taken away from mankind and hidden away where no one would ever find it and abuse it again.

One of Brahma's gods advised that it be hidden deep beneath the earth. Brahma said no, man would eventually dig deep enough. Another god said they should sink it to the bottom of the ocean. "No," said Brahma, "eventually man would learn to dive deep enough." Another god suggested taking it up to the highest mountaintop. "No," said Brahma again, "for someday man will learn to climb to the highest peak." The gods were now at a loss and had no more suggestions. "There is nowhere to hide it where man cannot find it," they said.

"Yes, there is," said Brahma. "We will hide it deep within man himself. He will never think to look for it there."

And ever since then, man has been digging beneath the earth, diving into the ocean, and climbing the highest mountains, looking for what is hidden deep within himself.

We can, and should, look to others for aid, advice, and encouragement. But in the end, we must look inside, for it is only there that we will find the spirit of the true achiever. Inside ourselves, in our thoughts and our hearts, we hold the belief that we can achieve our greatest dreams. We only have to look deep enough.
