This story I'm about to share I still remember vividly the day I heard it. It was roughly 5 years ago at a Las Vegas business convention. The speaker, his name is Jeff Levitan, uber-successful entrepreneur shared this with the MGM Arena crowd I was in and I was floored by this incredible short parable about life and what it takes to become great. 

If you feel like you're stuck or in a rut, this story is for you. 

Now, before I begin reading this story, PLEASE shut off all distractions and really take this in.
