How Close Are You to the Hut Against the Storm of Doubt?
For months I was trying to find the perfect allegory and analogy for the philosophy of different mindsets and worldviews and how each can take your life in a certain direction. It was only last week that it all suddenly came to me.
Dear Steemians, today I want to tell you a story, but first, I would like to humbly ask for the utmost of your attention. You will not regret it.
Once upon a time, there were three friends who decided to go camping in a forest. Julia and Robert were in a relationship and were planning on getting married. It was their friend Kevin that had insisted on going camping as he had not seen them for a long time. As day came to a close, and the sun began to set, it began to grow colder and colder, almost reaching to the point of freezing.
Suddenly, a heavy rain started descending from the sky. The situation grew hazardous. It was dark and cold, and the wind’s howl was menacing under the cover of the dire situation that had crippled them. Robert was unsure. He knew that he had heard of a hut that was near them, a place where they could find shelter. So, he said to the other two that they should go and look for it.
Kevin was adamant, “Have you gone crazy? We should stay put.” He said.
Much to Robert’s surprise, Julia was on Kevin’s side. Robert didn’t know when the raining was going to stop, but he knew that he could not sit idly and do nothing. He implored them to get a move on, as he believed that there was still a chance. The two still resisted. The cold was punishing, and the rain had greatly reduced their vision.
Robert grew weary and eventually stood up and started moving towards a direction without looking back. Julia took Kevin’s hand and the two started following him with nonchalance. All Robert could think of was finding the hut and sheltering inside it, while the two followed and mocked him for the futility of his endeavor.
They even went so far as to laugh at him while shaking in doubt and fire under the gruesome rain and the punishing cold.
Robert paid no heed, for all he could hear was the silent sound of his own peacefulness.
Hours and hours passed. It was indeed a long endeavor. Suddenly, Robert saw an elegant and gracious hut and started running towards it. He soon lost the other two and entered the hut. A fire burned bright in the chimney. Hot food and other accommodations awaited him; as if someone had prepared all of the convenience for his arrival. On the colorful table he found a note that read:
“I knew that you were coming. Do help yourself with what is prepared for you and what you deserve. They are waiting for the rain to stop and the winds to settle, little do they know that this is merely the beginning and it can never end. Fear not, for one day they will eventually come here, be it only in their dreams.
Because whether they believed in this place or not doesn’t matter. The problem is that they are too afraid to move. They lack the tolerance to take steps. They lack the forbearance for the doubt that inflicts their path. When you were taking steps to reach here, all they could think of was that you were getting soaked under the rain just as much as they did.
That may be true, but the real truth is that you were getting closer while they were drifting further away from hope. Fear not, for they will eventually come around.”
In this universe, the position of you who have found your goal in life and are taking steps towards it in spite of your doubts and fears is not the same as everybody else. You may be left alone even by the people closest to you, and it is true that you will freeze and drench as much as everyone else, but your destination is never the same.
A BIG HUG! Important Note! I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning.

Resteem... ***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.

Hi dear @chbartist and all steemians,
I've been thinking about similar issues for the last two years. First, a person must discover self and own soul. Because people cannot find their skills and abilities without self-diagnosis. Then people must move away from concerns and focus entirely on what can do.
Our thoughts guide us. After focusing on our thoughts, the life will begin to guide us in our way.
Have nice new week.

As a Christian person I can tell you that doubts and fears keep us away from blessings, we will all fear, fear and doubt at some point, but within us there is a spirit of courage and self-control given by God to face all obstacles, and the most important thing @chbartist, is to never stop dreaming and believing, the word of God says that: if you believe you will see the glory, it seems easy no? anyone can tell you I believe when everything is fine: there is money, resources, health, but what is difficult when the situation is contrary as in the case of the story told here, the kingdom suffers violence, and only the brave ones snatch it away.
Blessings!
Dear @chbartist sir!
We have to make an effort to determine and achieve our goal because the world is selfish. Occasionally the circumstances are contrary to our thinking, due to which we become uninterested. When the circumstances lie, they leave their roles as well. At that time our patience, our sense, and our morale defend us. thanks for continuously giving positive mindset.
Regards

I also believe that way. Success depends on what we believe in and depending on thyself. When you talked about " we may be left alone by our closest," touches my heart. This situation may broke our heart and make us fade but teaches us to be strong in future. That's the life lesson.
You made up the story,or it's a local tale?
And again what you are thinking about the community is really appreciable.

Great job once again sir.
It could be quite disappointing when even people we love loose faith in us and our dreams just like Robert's fiancee. But then people see things differently and from different perspectives; thus unwavering focus on one's desired goal is required. The road to success is not an easy one. It is said before walking through a path you have never walked through before, it's necessary to seek advice from the right set of people (people who have walked that path before) in order to get authentic information whereas others who have never even tried walking the same path may not give you authentic information but rather mislead you.. In essence company matters . Surrounding yourself with people of like-mind and equal zeal could also go a long way to keeping you focused.
In all hardworking, resilience, hope, faith and determination are key requirements on the way to success.
Great write post from you as usual.
""You may be left alone even by the people closest to you, and it is true that you will freeze and drench as much as everyone else, but your destination is never the same. You are right about this and also let us always trust in God to always help us as we walk along the destination
Upvoted and resteemed. Thanks for having me on your list! I appreciate it.
My friend time without commenting, but always try to read your article in what is possible, very good story the truth, and good very good history and reflection and we must always trust in ourselves and we must have faith in the things that We believe, and your doubt that things will come out better, best regards.
