A potter was making something out of clay when his wife came near and asked, "What are you doing?"

๐Ÿ‘ˆ The potter replied, "I am making a chillum (clay pipe) for a hookah. It is selling very well these days; the earnings will be good."

๐Ÿ‘ˆ The wife responded, "The purpose of life is not just a source of earning, there is more to it. Listen to me..."

๐Ÿ‘ˆ "Make a Surahi (water pitcher) today. It is summer; that will also sell in abundance, but along with that, it will also serve to quench the thirst of people."

๐Ÿ‘ˆ The potter thought for a moment and began to reshape the clay. Suddenly, the clay asked, "What are you doing? You changed my shape, why?"

๐Ÿ‘ˆ The potter replied, "My thinking has changed. Earlier, I was filling fire into your belly; now, water will be filled, and God's creation will benefit from you."

๐Ÿ‘ˆ The clay cried out, "Only your thinking has changed, but my entire life has changed! I have come out of agony and into tranquility."

๐Ÿ‘ˆ Change your thinking, and life will change on its own.
