Monday Motivation….. December 03, 2012 (095)
Once upon a time a young boy was learning to fly kite. His father helped him, and after several attempts the kite was up in the air. The boy ran and let out more string, and in no time the kite was flying high. The little boy was so excited; the kite was beautiful.
Eventually there was no more string left to allow the kite to go higher. The boy said to his father, “Daddy, let’s cut the string and let the kite go; I want to see it go higher and higher.”
His father said, “Son, the kite won’t go higher if we cut the string.”
“Yes it will,” responded the little boy. “The string is holding the kite down; I can feel it.” The father handed a pocket knife to his son. The boy cut the string. In a matter of seconds the kite was out of control. It darted here and there and finally landed in a broken heap. That was difficult for the boy to understand. He felt certain the string was holding the kite down.

Moral:
The commandments and laws of God are like the kite string. They lead us and guide us upwards; Obedience of these laws gives us peace, hope and direction.
Achieve success, fly high, touch skies, but beneath be humble, be good, don’t let the success, the achievement, fill you with ego or any other negative aliments. Always remember, Fly high but stay grounded….
Have a great week ahead!
