Hey – Michael here.
Happy Friday to our community of forward-thinkers.
Here’s a dose of inspiration and practical advice wrapped in a compelling story.
Today’s reading time: Just under 5 minutes.
The Story of the Farmhand
A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications, he said, “I can sleep through a storm.” Though puzzling, this response was a testament to the young man’s unwavering confidence. Intrigued, the farmer decided to hire him.
A few weeks later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm ripping through the valley. The farmer leaped out of bed and called for his newly hired hand, but the young man was sleeping soundly.
In a hurry, the farmer and his wife checked the farm. To their relief, they found that the farmhouse shutters had been securely fastened, a good supply of logs had been set next to the fireplace, the farm tools were safely stored in the shed, the bales of wheat were bound and wrapped in tarps, the tractor was moved into its garage, and the barn was locked correctly. Even the animals were calm and had plenty of feed. Everything was in order.
At that moment, the farmer understood the profound meaning behind the young man’s words, “I can sleep through a storm.” Because the farmhand was diligent and prepared for any storm, he could sleep peacefully through the night.
