The Wind and the Window Salma was always afraid of taking risks.
Every time she wanted to try something new,
she would hesitate,
hiding behind her excuses:
“What if I fail?”
“What will people say?” Years passed,
and her small dreams slowly faded,
as if her life was passing by behind a closed window. One day, a strong wind blew,
opening a broken window in her old house,
and a piece of paper fell to the ground. It was an old note she had written to herself years ago:
"Don’t wait for others to give you the opportunity… open the windows yourself." Salma looked around and understood.
All those years, she had been waiting for circumstances,
waiting for others to approve, waiting for the path to be easy.
But life had not waited for her. She stepped outside,
starting small, one step at a time.
She stumbled, fell, felt fear,
but she kept going. A few months later, she noticed something strange:
the life she had seen from behind her window
began to open up before her.
Doors that had seemed closed started to open,
and opportunities she had waited for became part of her journey. She smiled and said to herself:
"Failure is not the enemy… procrastination is." The lesson:
Don’t wait for perfect circumstances to start your life.
Start now, even if the path is hard.
The first step, no matter how small, is what makes the difference.
