Donkey Wisdom
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 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 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 neighbors 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 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.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
P.S. The donkey later came back and kicked THE CRAP out
of the farmer that tried burying him.
Moral: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes
back to get you..
