THE DONKEY ATTITUDE

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 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.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less
