IT IS JUST A BEND, AND NOT THE END.. It is usually said that it is not about the number of times you fall, but it is about the number of times you get up on your feet again. The journey of success would never be a smooth one.It is a must for us to go through downs that would always want us to give up and that is the bend i would be hammering on later as i would be talking much on it.I would be starting today's topic with a story: 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 stepup. 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 stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. The donkey inhere realized that he still has so much to achieve and that is why he never gave. Dont ever allow anyone to talk you down that you can't! Whisper it daily that you can and with just a few more steps, you would get to that destination. Situations of life are just BENDS but the real END is we achieving a worthwhile success at the end.I just hope i have empowered you yet again this morning. EMAIL: Syrine22rules@gmail.com
