This a story about a person learning archery:
“For a long time, I could not draw the bow correctly, until, one day, my teacher showed me a breathing exercise, and it suddenly became easy. I asked why he had taken such a long time to correct me. He replied, ‘If I had shown you the breathing exercise from the start, you would have thought them unnecessary. Now you will believe what I say and will practise as if it were really important. This is what good teachers do.’ “
Sometimes, happiness can be such a simple wish, yet so hard to obtain.
But when such simple things finally land in your lap after a long “journey”, you know you understood its true value, as you might not have if it were to be given to you so easily.
You would treasure it and hold on to it because you know how precious a simple thing can be.
