Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 396 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is a story in a Talmud about a man who noticed that he was sitting by a stone, where there was a drop of water that kept on falling onto that rock. Those drops were unified but consistent. As he looked closer, he saw that in the rock, actually, the water had made a dent, a hole. It then occurred to him that this rock which was solid and made up of elements of total constriction allowed the water to make a hole in it. Yet water is so soft and almost evaporates if you leave it anywhere long enough. So, how could it be? And so he thought, if the rock itself could have a hole in it made by water, his mind, he was at the time in his 40s, could also absorb knowledge, wisdom, and he could therefore change himself.
And so he did. He became one of the greatest men at the time, and wrote and elucidated on thousands of ideas and concepts. As a matter of fact, it is told in the Talmud, that he had over 24,000 students. Quite amazing, isn’t it?
You see, that is the power of the mind. The mind itself can stretch at any given time, and water which is the source of life, knowledge and understanding, can be acquired by anyone.
So regardless of how old you are, whether you are starting your journey in this world, you are in the middle of it, or you think you are close to the end of that, you can become better. You can acquire as much knowledge as possible. Your mind will stretch, accept, and learn anything that you put in it.
Now, make sure that what you put in it, is positive, good, and substantial. Otherwise, who knows what kind of person you’ll become? That would be detrimental. Why not use these concepts and know that since your mind is so powerful, it has the power to accommodate and know that you can change, why not make that difference? Learn, grow, read, speak to people, exchange ideas and let your mind continuously wander in the vast majority of the knowledge that exists in this world and become a better person to make this place a better world.
