Many people do advice me that I should not fast at this age. Dont think that I am too old (Just 29!). Here is my explanation.
- Many a times Fasting made me identify the real wolf in sheep clothing.
- Got answer for long pending sufferings.
- Was able to get the guidance of the Almighty.
That success made me fast often. I am fasting for more than 3 years and found no health hazard. But contra to that I get immense strength and power to think better.
Living 200 years without success is much much greater that 2 years of success.
Practically speaking…
let me start with a proverb ..”Failure is the stepping stone for success” I want add a topping to that ..Also problems are the stepping stones for success.
Some time back I heard a sermon on how to overcome difficulties in life. It was really great …It is simply because of that I would like to share this with you.
You know Turtles in the sea come to the shore to lay the eggs. It doesnt incubate the eggs .. instead it buries the egg over the sands. Here comes the list of problems in the life of a turtle.
- Before it hatches the eggs may be broken by playful kids in the shore…
- Once it hatches and starts towards waters, some predator tries to eat the little turtles.
- After reaching the waters they arent safe. Still it is harassed by adult turtles.
the only survivor will be the turtle which overcomes all trials.
This particular message touched my heart and from that day I started taking troubles as stepping stones for my success. Hope you will find it useful if you wish to overcome problems.
