Akbar Birbal ki Kahani | Everything happens for good
Just a right time to revisit this simple yet effective story
Every incident in life has connection with future incidents, which we are not able to see at that point of time. We are only able to relate it back once that connecting future incident happens. Therefore, we should always try to be optimistic and look brighter side irrespective of circumstance we are in.
Whatever happens, we should be thankful for what we have, instead of getting sad about what we have lost. There's always light at the end of the tunnel
