This is a story that I heard on a Topher Morrison seminar that really touched me and I wanted to share it with you…….
The Greek gods were sat around one day & they wanted to find somewhere to store the greatest power in the Universe. And as they were sitting around trying to figure out a place where they could hide greatest power in the Universe – do you know who they wanted to hide it from? They wanted to hide it from man. They wanted to hide it from us because they knew that if we got in touch with that power – it may fall into the wrong hands and some of us may not be able to deal with the power.
So the Greek gods were sitting around the table on Mount Olympus trying to decide where they should hide the power!
It was then that Poseidon, lord of the sea, raised his hand and said the we should hide greatest power in the Universe in the deepest depths of the ocean – surely the humans will never find it there. They all agreed it was a great idea but then they started talking about it and they said. You know what, human beings are very resourceful and persistent creatures and they’ll find a way to get to the deepest depths of the ocean, so we better not hide it there. They all said yeah, yeah we better not.
It was then that Athena, virgin Goddess of Wisdom jumped up and shouted – I know where we can hide the greatest power in the Universe. We can hide it high on the mountain tops – they will never find it there. Again, they all agreed it was a great idea but then they started talking about it and they said. You know what, human beings are very resourceful and persistent creatures and they’ll find a way to get to the highest heights of the mountains, so we better not hide it there. They all said yeah, yeah we better not.
So they kept trying to think of different places and now they were starting to run out of ideas so it was time for the big guns. When we are talking big guns there was only one god up to the job. Zeus, Lord of the Heavens and king of all gods. Now Zeus as usual had an idea to top all of the ideas. He said – lets hide the greatest power in the Universe in the deepest reaches of space – they’ll never find it there. They looked at each other then said – You know what, human beings are very resourceful and persistent creatures and they’ll find a way to get to get there one day.
Now as you can imagine they were getting pretty perplexed by now, they just didn’t know where to hide the power.
It was then they came up with a cunning plan, a plan that would fool the humans for sure. The plan was to put the greatest power in the universe in a place that the humans would never look………..
……….the place they put it was inside the humans themselves – they would never think to look there.
Now this may sound like a nice little story but the metaphor was really powerful for me. As a race we seem intent on looking outside and to others for the answers when our greatest power and everything we need is within ourselves.
The message I get from this story is one I pass on to you – trust yourself and look to yourself for the answers – they are inside if only you look and trust x
