STORY OF A FISH WHO FORGOT HOW TO SWIM (For Overthinkers)

This was too much for the fish, So he stopped chasing and looked around to see who was talking to him. There was no one to be seen and it was strange though how he was still floating in the water as if he was suspended from an empty space.

“There, now.” continued the great sea, you thought you were doing it all by yourself and you never knew that I hold you up all the time. Can’t you see, I am the one who is keeping you afloat? I have given all of myself to you and yet you have forgotten me and wasted yourself in pursuing your own end.

Then the fish realised how he has always been looked after and protected by the great sea. From that moment that fish was happier than ever.

The moral of the story is that In life, we try so hard to stay in control, fearing if we let go, we’ll fall into some bottomless pit of despair and suffering.

But what really happens when we let go is that we discover that we are held by something much bigger than ourselves.

Don’t be so sure that you are doing everything all by yourself. I am sure you have a lot to do with where you’re right now but the universe also played a major role in it. There are always bigger forces in play and you’re already doing the best you can do. So stop overthinking or should I say chasing your own tail.
