A Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students, “How much do you think this glass weighs?”?

The students answered, ’50 grams’….. ’100 grams!’ …..’125 grams’….  and so on.

“I really don’t know unless I weigh it,” exclaimed the professor, “but, my question is:

“What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
‘Nothing’, said the students.

“Ok; what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?” the professor asked
‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the students.

“You are right. Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?”

“Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle pain and might have to go to the hospital for sure!” said another student and all the students laughed.

“Very good”
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” Asked the professor
‘No’…. Was the answer
“Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle pain?”

The students were puzzled
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked the professor again
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students
“Exactly!” said the professor.

Life’s problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache.

Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to “PUT THEM DOWN” at the end of every day before you go to sleep.

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!
