That’s Life.

God

created the donkey

 

and said to him.

 

“You will be a donkey.  You will eat grass, you will have no

 

intelligence and you will live 50 years.”

 

The donkey answered:

 

“I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much.  Give

me only

20 years”

 

  

God granted his wish.

 

  

 

God created the dog:

 

and said to him:

 

“You will guard the house of man.  You will be his best Friend.

 

You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.

 

You will be a dog.”

 

The dog answered:

 

“Sir, to live 30 years is too much, give me only 15

years.

 

“God granted his wish.

 

God created the monkey

 

and said to him:

 

“You will be a monkey.  You will swing from branch to

branch doing

 

tricks.

 

You will be amusing and you will live

 

20 years.”

 

The monkey

 

answered:

 

“To live 20 years is too much, give me only

10 years.”

 

God granted his wish.

 

 

  

Finally God created man. . .

 

and said to him:

 

“You will be man, the only rational creature on the

face of the earth.

 

You will use your intelligence to become master over all

the animals.

 

 

“You will dominate the world and you will live

20 years.”

 

 

Man responded:

 

“Sir, I will be a man, but to live only

 

20 years is very little,

 

give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years

that the dog

 

did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused.

 

“God granted man’s wish

 

 

And since then, man lives

 

20 years as a man,

 

 

marries and spends

 

30 years like a donkey,

 

Working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

 

 

 

Then when his children are grown,

 

he lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating

whatever

 

is given to him,

 

 

 

so that when he is old,

 

he can retire and live 10 years like a monkey, going from house to

house

 

and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to

amuse his

 

grandchildren.

 

 

 

That’s Life.

A little bit

Posted by: relboy | December 17, 2008 | No Comment |

Making a little bit of progress is much better than making no progress at all. Even though the going may be slow, keep going.

Moving slowly toward your goal is much better than not moving at all. Do what you can, when you can, with what you have.

Time will work in your favor when you use that time for positive purpose. Over time, even the small efforts bring big results.

If you waste your time wishing you could do more, you end up doing less. Cheerfully use your time as it comes to do the best you can.

Even when you’re not able to take a major step forward, you can always take a small step forward. Keep taking those small steps, and the opportunity to take that big step will surely come.

A little bit here and a little bit there will soon add up to a lot of progress. Even when you can’t do much, you can always keep yourself actively headed in a positive direction.

Unfair

Posted by: relboy | December 17, 2008 | No Comment |

You won’t become successful by complaining that life is unfair. Certainly there are many injustices in the world, yet you won’t get anywhere by using those injustices as excuses.

Your best response is to work over, under, around and through them. Accept the fact that life is unfair, and choose to experience outstanding success anyway.

It is admirable to fight against injustice. But fighting against injustice may very well make that injustice even stronger.

A better way to end injustice is to make it irrelevant. When you create ways for yourself and others to succeed in spite of unfair circumstances, then you render those circumstances powerless.

The world is filled with inequity and unfairness. And yet, there are always plenty of workable and creative ways to rise above those negative circumstances.

When something in life is unfair, choose to succeed anyway. And make that unfairness so small and insignificant it won’t even matter.

Into action

Posted by: relboy | December 17, 2008 | No Comment |

When you don’t feel like doing what you know you must, that’s the best

time to go ahead and do it anyway. That’s when you can break through your old habit patterns to a new level of focus, performance and achievement.

That first step will require you to go against your natural tendency to put it off until later and to stay comfortably where you are. So how do you get beyond that?

Use your power of visualization to do two things. First, use your thoughts to make it even more uncomfortable, even more painful for you not to take action.

Next, visualize in great detail all the positive and desirable rewards you’ll create by going ahead and getting it done. In your mind, make it so compelling to take action that you cannot avoid doing so.

Many times in the past, you’ve successfully avoided action by telling yourself why you can’t or why you won’t. Now, choose to use that same power to tell yourself why you can and why you will.

You control the awesome power of your thoughts. And with your thoughts you can successfully visualize yourself into action every time.

Everything you have

Posted by: relboy | December 17, 2008 | No Comment |

There is so very much available to you. In reaching for your dreams, make use of everything you have.

Don’t be dismayed or embarrassed by what you have to work with. Instead, work with whatever you have and it will grow more useful and effective with each effort.

Don’t place a judgment on your abilities before you even put them to use. Go ahead, get to work, and see how quickly your skills increase.

Look back at the good things you’ve accomplished in the past. That power of accomplishment is still with you, so choose now to put it to use again for even more exciting and compelling purposes.

Think of all the great ideas you’ve had but have never followed through on. Now is when you can make the best of them come to life.

The challenges are great and yet the value that flows through your life is far greater. Use everything you can, and you can accomplish anything you choose.

I want to contribute in a small way to make this world a better place. Please guide me about that. What should I do so that I get inner satisfaction of doing something for the society.

Appreciating Our Past………..

Posted by: relboy | October 21, 2008 | No Comment |
It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth. Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.

Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.

Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

A Lesson in Life!!!!

Posted by: relboy | October 20, 2008 | 1 Comment |
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.  If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You……..

Posted by: relboy | October 18, 2008 | No Comment |
There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s your sunlight that should lead the way.

A Memo From God !!!

Posted by: relboy | July 26, 2008 | No Comment |

To: YOU

Date: TODAY

Subject: YOURSELF

Reference: LIFE I am God.

Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it. If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of priviledge. Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years. Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return. Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children. Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine. Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity. Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!!
