In a village by a rushing river, there lived Javier, a young fisherman with torn nets and big dreams. An elder from the town, Don Miguel, made him an offer: “Repair the old bridge with me. If you obey my instructions, you’ll become the best fisherman in the valley.” Javier hesitated—he wanted to fish, not build—but he agreed. Don Miguel was strict: “Drive the posts like this, tie them tight, don’t skip steps.”
Every day, Javier showed up at dawn, sweating under the sun, following each order with discipline despite aching hands. Weeks passed, and the neighbors mocked: “Bridge fisherman, what a waste of time!” But Javier stayed steady, constant as the river. When the bridge was done, Don Miguel smiled: “Now cross it and cast your net from the other side.” Javier obeyed and caught more fish in a day than he had in months. The bridge didn’t just lead him to fish; it led him to success.
The moral is clear: obedience opens paths, discipline builds them, and constancy walks them. Javier didn’t see the reward right away, but his effort transformed him. Today, think about your “bridge”: that task requiring a plan, hard work, and perseverance. Every step matters. If you need support to stay the course, I’m here at Fenix Behavioral Health.
