The Person Who Has Been Stopping Your Growth In This Company Passed Away

Got this excellent story on WhatsApp today and wouldn’t stop myself from sharing it.


A wonderful small story which every employee should read.

One day all the employees reached the office and saw a big advice written on the door.

Yesterday the person who has been stopping your growth in this company passed away. You are invited to join the funeral.

In the beginning, they got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they got curious to know who the man who stopped their growth was.

Everyone thought: Well at least the man who stopped my progress died!

One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside they were speechless. They stood shocked in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin and everyone who looked inside could see himself.


There was a sign next to the mirror that read:

There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth…It is you. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, success and realization.

What I realized and invite you to consider is:

My life does not change when my boss, friends or company change…..my life changes when I change…I go beyond my limiting beliefs and I realize I am the only one responsible for my life.

It’s the way I face life that makes the difference!

If an egg is broken from outside force….life ends but if it is broken from inside force life begins. Great things always begin from our inside…
