A young lady confidently walked
around the room with a raised glass of water while leading a
seminar and explaining stress
management to her audience.
Everyone knew she was going to
ask the ultimate question, 'Half empty or half full?' She fooled them all.
"How heavy is this glass of
water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8
oz. To 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that's
not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll
have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
In each case it's the same
weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress.
If we carry our burdens all the
time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be
able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can
carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time
practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't
carry them through the evening and into the night. Pick them up again tomorrow
if you must.
* Accept the fact that some
days you're the pigeon, and
some days you're the statue!
* Always keep your words
soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Drive carefully.. It's
not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
* If you lend someone $20
and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* Nobody cares if you can't
dance well. Just get up and dance.
* When everything's coming
your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for
you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* We could learn a lot from
crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some
have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the
same box.
* A truly happy person is
one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
* Have an
awesome day and know that
someone has thought about you today.
Be the kind of person that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil
says~~ "Oh Crap, they're up!"
