What Should He Do

In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth.

She finds a remote grass field near a strong-
flowing river. This seems a safe place.

Suddenly labour pains begin.

At the same moment, dark clouds gather 
around above 

& lightning starts a forest fire.

She looks to her left & sees a hunter with his 
bow extended pointing at her.

To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.

What can the pregnant deer do?

She is in labour!

What will happen?

Will the deer survive?

Will she give birth to a fawn?

Will the fawn survive?

Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?

Will she perish to the hunters’ arrow?

Will she die a horrible death at the hands 
of the hungry lion approaching her?

She is constrained by the fire on the one side 
& the flowing river on the other & boxed in by 
her natural predators.

What does she do?

She focuses on giving birth to a new life.

The sequence of events that follows are:

- Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter.

- He releases the arrow which zips past the 
deer & strikes the hungry lion.

- It starts to rain heavily, & the forest fire is 
slowly doused by the rain.

- The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.

In our life / business too, there are moments 
of choice when we are confronted on αll sides 
with negative thoughts and possibilities.

Some thoughts are so powerful that they 
overcome us & overwhelm us.

Maybe we can learn from the deer.

The priority of the deer, in that given moment, 
was simply to give birth to a baby.

The rest was not in her hands & any action 
or reaction that changed her focus would have 
likely resulted in death or disaster.

Ask yourself,

Where is your focus?

Focus should always remain on faith and hope
