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 neighbors to come cover up 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 quited down.
A few shovels loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well,
and was astonished at what he saw. With every 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 neighbow 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 trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt of 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 stepping stone. we can get out of the
deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up!
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
The donkey later came back and kicked the heck
out of the farmer that tried to bury him.
So remember, what goes around, comes around!
