The Elephant and the Dog: A Story of Patience and Purpose

[MysteRy]

Once, a dog and an elephant became pregnant at the very same time.

Within just three months, the dog delivered a litter of puppies.
Six months later, she gave birth again — and soon, another round of pups followed. Over that period, her puppies grew into strong, lively dogs.

Meanwhile, the elephant’s belly seemed unchanged.

Eighteen months passed, and the dog, curious and slightly mocking, said to the elephant:
"Are you even sure you’re pregnant? We conceived together, yet I’ve birthed multiple litters. My pups are already grown — and you’re still carrying the same child?"

The elephant looked at her calmly and replied:
"There’s something you don’t understand.
I don’t carry a puppy. I carry an elephant.
My pregnancy lasts nearly two years, and when I give birth, the whole world feels it.
When my calf steps onto the earth, the ground trembles.
When it crosses the road, people stop in awe.
What I’m carrying takes time — because it will be massive, powerful, and unforgettable."

🌱 The Lesson

Don’t be discouraged when others seem to achieve faster results.
Don’t measure your journey against their speed.

Remember:

"My time will come. And when it does, it will shake the ground beneath me."

Stay patient. Stay committed.
Greatness takes time — but when it arrives, it commands attention.
