The two ants
One ant lived on a sugar hill and one on a salt hill.
I haven't seen you around here before, where are you from?"
said the salt ant.
I live on the sugar hill, replied the sugar ant.
'Sugar hill What's sugar? inquired the salt ant.
"Sugar is delicious and sweet. Just thinking about it makes my
mouth water. Are you sure you've never eaten sugar before
All we have around here is salt. You can eat it, but it makes
you very thirsty. I like the sound of this sugar you speak of.
Well then, come and visit my sugar hill and see for yourself
how good it tastes.
The two ants set a date and decided to meet at the sugar hill.
The sugar ant gave directions how to get there.
As the day of the visit approached, the salt ant started to think
les the sugar. I would have travelled such a
long way and I will be hungry. Just in case, I'll take some salt
with me in my mouth.
At the sugar hill, the sugar ant was waiting to greet the salt
ant.
Welcome to my sugar hill. Here, try some sugar and see how
good it tastes.
The salt ant put some sugar into his mouth. Hmmm, this
tastes just like my salt,' he said.
Puzzled by this response, the sugar ant said, Are you sure?
Sugar and salt taste very different. Try some more.
The salt ant put some more sugar in his mouth and after a
moment said,
Yep, this is the same taste as my salt. Around here you call it
sugar, but where I live we call it salt. It's the same thing.
The sugar ant knew that salt and sugar taste different, so he
knew something was wrong. He thought for a while and then
said, 'Open your mouth so I can see what's in there.
When the salt ant opened his mouth, sure enough there was a
big lump of salt.
There is the problem. Take out that salt and then taste the
sugar again, said the sugar ant.
The salt ant took out the lump of salt and taste the sugar.
He finally got to taste the sweetness. Wow, this is incredible!
So sweet. I'm never gei
i to my salt hill,' he said.
In life we have to leave one step behind in order to take the
next Success is built on our ability to evolve, to learn and to
grow. To evolve, we must take along what's good and leave
behind what isn't needed.
The more we can do this, the more successful we will be.
This story also shows how at times, we are our own worst
enemy. We have a tendency to not accept things as they are
and to see everything through our own filters.
Some people ask me, "Do i even have a choice? Isn't all this
determined by the movements of the stars?" As if the cards
have already been dealt and you are not the one making the
decisions
The answer give is, 'No, it's not the stars. Our own contu
sion is what leads to bad choices, and that is what creates
most of our problems. When we can let go of our ideas
about how things should be, we can start to see things as
they are. Then we have the full range of choice.
