FISH AND WATER

One day at a river side, a Father and his 10 years old son was discussing about the river.

“You see son, water is very important in lives. Without water we all will suffer and die”, the father start. At the same time, a little fish was listening the conversation. He wondered and worryied about what water is and how it became so important in lives. The little fish was so curious and asked all his fishfriends he met. “Hey, do you know where water is? I’ve heard human said that without it we all gonna die…” he shouted. All the fish came and discuss this issued. They began to worried and think where the water is. Suddenly one fish broke out the crowd. “Why don’t we go to Old Frey near the cliff. He is the oldest fish in this river, maybe he can help us..”. All the fish agreed and went to the cliff to find Old Frey. “Old Frey!! Old Frey!!” They shouted. Old Frey came out and found the fishcrowd. “Old Frey, do you know where water is, we just heard from human that without water we all gonna die” The Little fish start. After taking a deep breath the Old Frey respond. “Don’t you worry my fishfellow It is true without water we all gonna die. But the water is surrounding you. It has been with us since the beginning. You just didn’t realize that...”

Sometimes we human are just like that little fish. We asking and searching about the meaning of life, about happiness. We just don’t realize that we live in it. Life and happiness are surrounding us as long as we open our heart and mind.

"Being happy requires looking for the good things. One person see a beautiful view and the other sees a dirty window, choose what to see and think. It’s all come back to you.

You are what you see and think about yourself.

Memo from God

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: God
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. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

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 gray 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 one of them!
