The Donkey Attitude
Sometimes when things get difficult it seems almost impossible to go on. Many would
just give up but not everyone.
Read and learn from this inspirational 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 neighbours 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 neighbours
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 -
2. Free
your mind from worries -
3. Live simply and appreciate what you
have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
