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 yourself.
