🔨 THE NAIL AND THE HAMMER 🔨

[MysteRy]

One day, the nail asked the hammer:
— Why are you always the one who hits me?

The hammer replied calmly:
— I don’t do it to hurt you,
I do it to help you fulfill your purpose.

— But it hurts, — said the nail.

— I know, — answered the hammer —
but without that strike, you would never go into the wood,
you would never be firmly set,
you would never hold anything important.

The nail thought for a moment and asked again:
— Don’t you get tired of hitting?

— Of course I do, — said the hammer —
but it’s worth it when I know
that because of it, you are accomplishing your mission.

The nail fell silent…
then said with a gentle smile:
— Thank you for pushing me forward, even when it hurts.
Thank you for not leaving me halfway.

Sometimes life strikes us
not to break us,
but to place us exactly
where we are meant to be.

Because even pain,
when it has meaning,
is also a way to move forward.
