Hi friends , welcome to my new blog. Today I would like to share a story that will be very inspirational to everyone. This story is for those people who are not satisfied with their life. So friends my request for all of you to understand this story and read till end, literally you will feel some changes in you…….

Once upon a time a crow was very unhappy with his life.one started crying while sitting on  tree. A monk was sitting under a tree . Just then drop of crows tears fell on the monks cheek. Monk raised his head and saw  a crow was crying . The monk asked , why are you crying. The crow said , O wise one ,I'm very upset with my life ,no one loves me . people shoo me away in disgrace ,not  give me anything to eat. Everyone hates me. Death is better than such a life. Hearing crows words monk heart was filled with compassion . He said  “we should learn to be happy in whatever condition we are in”. But crow didn't understand the monks word and kept crying. monk said ," don't be upset”, tell me what  do you want to be, I can make you that with my mantra .crow became happy and said , O blessed one if you want to do me  favour  then please make me a swan. He said okay I will make you a swan. But first go to swan and ask whether he is happy with his life or not. You go and find out, till then I wait for you here.

Crow happily flew away to meet swan . swan swimming in a pond . He went to swan and said how beautiful you are, you are as white as milk . Everyone loves you. You must be happiest bird in the world.swan said  no my friend I'm not happy .  so many beautiful colours in the world but I  don't have any colors. White is a nothing color. I think parrot must be happiest bird in  world. It's so colorful.

Hearing this crow flew away  , reached the parrot. oh parrot ," you are so colourful and beautiful”. you must be happiest bird in the world. No my friend I'm not happy. people keep parrots in cage. I'm  always afraid that someone may hold me and lock me in  cage. I think peacock is the happiest one. He is more colourful than me.

Hearing this crow flew around looking for a peacock.he finally got a peacock  in a cage in  zoo.  hundred  of people had gathered to see him. After they left ,he approached  peacock and said dear peacock , you are so beautiful. Every thousands of people come to see you. look at me when they see me , immediately they shoo me away. I think you are happiest bird on the planet. peacock replied  ,I always thought ,I'm the most beautiful and happiest bird on the planet , because of my beauty I'm entrapped in zoo.when people pluck my colourful feathers to make decorative things it hurts a lot. The peacock said I'm not happy my friend. Crow was surprised to hear this from peacock.  if you are not happy then who is  happiest person in the world. I have examined the zoo very carefully and realised that you,  the crow are the only birds not kept in the cages, people don't try to catch you or entrap you. so  past few days I have been thinking that If were a crow , I could happily roam everywhere , I could be free.

  Today for the first time he was happy to be a crow. He came back to that sage and said , O wise one , I do not want to be anything else. I'm fine what Iam.

If we see in our lives we will not find that this is our problem too.we make unneccesary  comparison with others , become sad and curse ourselves. this all leads to vicious cycle of unhappiness. You should learn to be happy in what you have Instead of looking what you don't have. There will always be someone who will more or less than you have. If you keep comparing yourself with others you will never be able to be happy. A person who is satisfied with what he or she has is the happiest person in the world .
