STOP, I am your destiny, this is as far as you can go

One day a man was out walking when he was confronted by a wall which said, ‘STOP I am your destiny, this is as far as you can go’.  But the man changed himself into a mouse and he slipped through a tiny hole in the wall.  On he went guided by self confidence and his heart.

Later he found himself confronted by a river as big and as wide as the sea.  It also said, ‘STOP, I am your destiny this is as far as you can go’. But the man changed himself into a fish and swam to the farther shore, where he followed the path laid out for him by the sun.

Then one day he had to stop suddenly because a deep, dark abyss lay at his feet.  It also said, ‘STOP, I am your destiny this is as far as you can go’.  But the man turned himself into a bird, spread his wings and rode the wind to the other side, where he continued on his journey.

Sometime later he encountered a valley as long and as broad as the horizon, fertile with delicious fruits, beautiful flowers, majestic mountains, lakes and crystal waterfalls.  ‘STOP’ said the valley, ‘I am your destiny’ and the man replied ‘At last! How I welcome you!’
