NLP through stories _ story 41

/in /by
Emperor Akbar came up with a strange idea.
He
invited the heads of the village and said, “I shall give a goat to each
one of you.
You must feed them well. Take good care of them. The cost is
my responsibility.
You must return the goats after one month.
But when
you return, the goats should weigh the same as they are today.”

The village heads wondered how this would be possible. Many did not accept the challenge.

Somehow, Birbal came to know about this. He prevailed on village head and made him accept the challenge.
“Patelji, do not worry about what the Emperor has said. Just take good care of the goat,” said Birbal.

“In that case, the goat will grow fat.” said the village head

“There
is a solution for that. On the outskirts of the village, there is a
lion in the cage. Tie up this goat just a little way of from the lion. Rest will be taken care of ”
said Birbal.

 The Patel followed Birbal’s instruction. Even after one month the goat did not gain weight.
Akbar was pleased and understood it must have been the idea of Birbal.

The story clearly indicates the power of toxic emotions in us.
why did the goat not gain weight, though well taken care of?
Due to fear and insecurity, the goat did not gain an ounce of weight.
Though the lion was inside the cage it was actually living inside the mind space of the goat.
That fear sapped the energy vitality and peace of the goat.
That is why NLP says
“PEOPLE DON’T LACK RESOURCES; PEOPLE LACK RESOURCEFUL STATE OF MIND”
NLP always asks a question,” Before embarking on a task or responding to a situation ask ” Am I in a resourceful state of mind?”
If so proceed; if not add resource, become  resourceful and respond for best result.
VRnlp gives resourceful state of mind.
