Wednesdays Journey

Good Morning Friends,

Wednesday has arrived, today I am Thankful for those that have helped me in my journey, both in life and work. They have shaped me into who I am and for that I am ever grateful. Remember those who have helped you on your path and pay it forward. An act f kindness is never done too soon. May You realize the Blessings in your life and give Thanks for All You have.

“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”

 Henry David Thoreau

While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.”

 Stephen R. Covey quotes

There was an old mule. One day accidentally he fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer has evaluated the situation and thought to himself, that neither the well nor the old mule was worth the efforts to save them. Thus he decided to haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well.

So the farmer called his neighbours and together they started to shovel dirt into the well. The old mule was terrified and hysterical in the beginning. But soon one hopeful idea came to his mind – every time when a shovel of dirt landed on his back, he would shake it off and step up!

He repeated these words to himself again and again: „Shake it off and step up“. This way he could struggle the panic and encourage himself. After some time, the mule had stepped over the well‘s wall. Although terribly tired, he was the winner, he saved his own life. He decided to face his adversity positively and not to give up, and thus he won.

What seemed to bury him, actually saved him, owing to his confidence and restless efforts.

A little humor to brighten your day:

 For a couple years I 've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure

from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm over

worked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired.

That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which

leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the

federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the

Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the

14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4

million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals,

leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at

your computer reading jokes.

Make your day what it truly needs to be, lead from the heart and you’ll do fine.
