The 99 Blockages In Your Life

Once upon a time, in a small cottage nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, there lived a man named Shen Hui. Shen Hui had heard stories of a newly built distant village, where fresh vibrant farmland was widely available and bountiful freshwater lake teemed with fish in abundance that it seemed almost magical. With unwavering determination and dreams of a new life, one filled with opportunities, Shen Hui decided to embark on a journey to his promised land.

He packed his meager belongings, bid farewell to his small cottage and set off on a path that led to the land of his dreams.

However, along the way, something peculiar began to happen. Every so often, Shen Hui would come across peculiar stones that seemed to call out to him. They were unlike any he had ever seen before—smooth, shiny, and strangely alluring. Without thinking, he started picking them up and placing them in his bag.

As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Shen Hui continued his journey, all the while collecting these peculiar stones. He doesn't realize these stones contain a mystical allure, a power to ensnare and cloud the mind of the collector. These stones harbored a dark secret. They were designed to be picked up and when done so, they were capable of infecting the thoughts and spirit of the bearer, eventually driving them to madness.

One evening, Shen Hui, sensing the grip of addiction to these peculiar stones had over him, made the agonizing choice to part with them. Initially, the stones clung to his soul, making it nearly impossible to let go as though they were an extension of his very being. Yet, summoning the depths of his inner strength, he found the courage to cast them aside.

As Shen Hui resumed his journey, he realized that he has been walking in circles. He was nowhere closer to his destination. The stones had cast a spell over him, hypnotizing him to wander around the forest area where he had picked them up.

Finally free from the bewitching stones, these stones were like blockages that prevented him from reaching his destination. And so, the new land of dreams awaited for him and with a heart filled with determination... and armed with the wisdom, blockages are not meant to be carried along the way.
