A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in life.

But one day he saw a swan. "This swan is so white," he thought, "and I

am so black.

This swan must be the happiest bird in the world."

He expressed his thoughts to the swan. "Actually," the swan replied,

"I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a

parrot, which has two colors. I now think the parrot is the happiest

bird in creation."

The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained, "I lived a

very happy life—until I saw a peacock. I have only two colors, but the

peacock has multiple colors."

The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of

people had gathered to see him.

After the people had left, the crow approached the peacock. "Dear

peacock," the crow said, "you are so beautiful. Every day thousands of

people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me

away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet."

The peacock replied, "I always thought that I was the most beautiful

and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped

in this zoo.

I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the

crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past few days I have

been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam everywhere."

Moral of the story

That's our problem too. We make unnecessary comparison with others and

become sad. We don't value what has God given us. This all leads to

the vicious cycle of unhappiness. Value the things God has given us.

Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads

only to unhappiness

we can value what we have by thinking positive about us and about our

belongings. We must not allow any negative thought to come in our mind

about ourselves. If you want to learn how to be always positive then

you can watch my video how to remain always happy and how to handle

negative people. If you want to learn how to keep thinking positive

about ourselves then you can watch my video how to motivate ourselves

and others.
