One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to
be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down
the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each
shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of
the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge
of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off
and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not
stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred – Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.
Life is simply made up of choices. You either choose to be
happy or choose to be sad. You choose to be angry or you
choose to be calm.
You can make the choice this day; right now this very minute
to move forward in a life of freedom, health, and
prosperity.
You would not get too far driving a car with the emergency
brake on. The same applies to goals or dreams. If you try to
go through life holding yourself back with the “brakes on”,
allowing doubt, fear and negative self talk to be the
barrier that holds you back from becoming what you were
meant to be. You too will take your potential to the grave.
I say that because very few people ever live up to their
true potential. In fact the place that has the most
potential in the world may shock you. It’s the cemetery.
That’s right you heard me. The Cemetery. Most people die and
never achieve their potential and thus it dies with them
Today make the choice to move forward with your goals, your
dreams, and your aspirations. Release yourself from any
beliefs you may have about poverty or failure that might be
adversely affecting your thoughts, words, and actions.
Speak the following words orally, not just in your mind. Say
them. Affirm them. Make a sticky note and place them where
you can see them when you are brushing your teeth. This
exercise will help you to begin the renewal of your mind.
Your thought processes.
It is my desire to improve my health, I let go of any doubt
that I can be completely healthy. Wholeness is my divine
heritage. It is my desire to improve my finances. I let go
of any doubt that I can be financially secure. Prosperity Is
my divine inheritance. Rather than striving for results, I
allow The Divine Creator to transform my understanding and
my thoughts, so that I move forward into a life of freedom,
health, and prosperity. As I release all forms of self doubt
and negative self talk, I make room for my real potential to
be revealed and thus I am able to fully appreciate and
experience life the way it was meant to be.
