Just have a story for this week that just seems fitting based on the economy and life lately for most. There is no doubt, we as a country are going through a tough time. It is easy to get negative and stay there. In life and the universe everything that is negative has a positive and with that let me tell you this story. I know that it comes from the eastern culture but not sure of it's origin.
There was a farming in a small village. A man was passing through town and met this farmer.
The visitor gave the man a horse and the whole village said "That is so lucky". He said, "you think?"
The next day the farmer's son rode the horse and fell off. He broke his leg. The whole village said "Wow, that is so unlucky". The farmer replied, "You think?"
The country was at war and the next day notice was give to this small village that sons must report for duty. He son could not go because he broke his leg. The whole village said "That is so lucky". He said, "You think?"
I love this story and it reminds me that no matter what happens in life... it will always have a positive and a negative to it. So if I feel like I am going through something that is hard, I remind myself of this story and I know that the positive is just around the corner. It may be in the time frame of the universe and not always mine. Never the less... it is still coming.
Keep the faith and be the change you want to see in this world.
