Blessing or curse?
We all enjoy the thrill of a wildlife safari. Spotting animals in the wild excites both children and adults alike. Among them, deer are a delight to watch. They leap with joy, their energy so pure and infectious. Despite being constantly surrounded by danger, they radiate life. Nature truly is a blessing.
The deer lives each day in the middle of predators. It knows that at any moment, it may have to flee to save its life. But it doesn’t hide or give up. It doesn’t wish to escape the forest. It simply stays alert, present, and ready. When the moment comes, it gives its all to survive—and then, it returns to living fully in the present.
But what do we do when we face challenges? We often drown in regret from the past or fear about the future. We try to escape, avoid, or even give up. We forget to live. We forget to face the moment with all our strength.
Animals have five senses. We have six. But ask yourself—this sixth sense: Is it a blessing, or a curse?
Have you ever felt like running away from a problem? Looking back, what might have happened if you had faced it instead? What would change in your life if you lived like the deer—alert but joyful, ready but not fearful?
