Monday Motivation….. January 21, 2013 (102)
Once upon a time there was a very rich and greedy man. He loved and hoarded Jewels. One day a visitor asked him to see his jewels. So the jewels were brought out, amid much expensive security, and the two men gazed at the wonderful stones. As the visitor was leaving he said, “Thank you for sharing your jewels with me.”
“I did not give them to you,” exclaimed the rich man, “They belong to me.”
“Yes, of course” replied the visitor, “And while we enjoyed the jewels just the same, the real difference between us is your trouble and expense of buying and protecting them.”
Moral:
A lot of people get so hung up on what they can’t have that they don’t think for a second weather they really want it. Always remember, it is the preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else that prevent us from living freely and nobly.
Have a great week ahead!
