How To Practice Positivity

Once upon a time, a farmer organised a contest between his dog and his
rabbit. In one of his largest fields, he dug a hole and placed a carrot and

a bone inside. He was curious to see which animal would discover them

first.

The rabbit started digging everywhere in search of the carrot since he
was so happy and confident that he would find it. However, the dog was

stressed and under-confident, and after a while of sniffing around, he lay

down and started complaining about how difficult it was to find one bone

in such a large area.

The rabbit, however, believed that each hole excavated meant one less

hole he needed to dig. When there was nowhere left to dig in the entire

field, the rabbit excavated a tunnel that led directly under the spot where

the dog had been sleeping all that while. He discovered the carrot and

the bone there.

And this is how the dog’s pessimism caused him to lose. He was in the

right place from the start because of his excellent instinct, but his negative

attitude blinded him from following it.
