The Race of Life A Powerful Motivational story Moral Story
Transcript
00:00Once upon a time, deep in a quiet forest, lived a sweet little bird.
00:13She had shiny feathers and a kind heart.
00:16But she had a strange habit.
00:18Every day, whatever she saw, heard, or felt,
00:22she would write that experience on a small stone.
00:25Whether it was something happy or painful,
00:27she believed every moment was worth remembering.
00:31She thought,
00:32Good memories keep us smiling,
00:34and bad ones shouldn't stay in the heart.
00:38They should be written down and let go.
00:41So every day, she picked up a new stone,
00:44wrote her thoughts on it with her beak,
00:46and put it into a tiny cloth bag she carried with her wherever she flew.
00:52At first, it felt beautiful.
00:55She enjoyed collecting her memories.
00:56Believing they would help her in the future.
01:00That little bag became her treasure,
01:02full of moments from her life.
01:05But as the days passed,
01:06her bag started getting heavier.
01:09More stones meant more weight.
01:11And slowly, it began affecting her wings.
01:15Her flight became slower,
01:17and soon she couldn't fly high like she used to.
01:20But the bird didn't notice.
01:22She just kept collecting more stones.
01:24One day, she met an old, wise owl.
01:28The owl asked,
01:30Why do you carry that bag, little one?
01:32The bird smiled.
01:34It holds my life.
01:36Every joy, every pain, every lesson.
01:39The owl frowned.
01:41What do you still live in today?
01:43Or are you flying with yesterday on your back?
01:45The bird didn't understand.
01:47The bird didn't understand.
01:48She flew away.
01:50But even that flight was heavier than ever before.
01:53Weeks passed.
01:55Her bag was now full, overflowing.
01:58She struggled to lift off the ground.
02:01Her wings ached.
02:02She had no energy left.
02:04And one rainy evening, while trying to fly to safety, she fell.
02:09The weight of the stones crushed her delicate body.
02:13She lay there, under the very memories she thought would help her survive.
02:17Now the same memories had taken her life.
02:20That night, the owl visited her again.
02:24Looking at the small bird lying still, he whispered sadly,
02:28Memories are meant to guide, not to hold you back.
02:33She tried to carry everything and forgot to live.
02:36Sometimes, we all collect memories, good and bad, and keep thinking about them.
02:43But if we keep carrying our past every day, we'll become tired inside.
02:48We won't be able to enjoy today, or fly toward our future.
02:53Just like the bird, many people carry the pain, or even the happiness of the past for too long.
03:00But life is about letting go.
03:03We can't change what has already happened.
03:05But we can make our present beautiful.
03:08So, forgive, forget, and move on.
03:12Experience new things.
03:14Take new steps.
03:15And live with a light heart.
03:16Be grateful, be patient, and always move forward.
03:21Be grateful, be patient, and always move forward.
