Dealing obstacles

[Guest guest]

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.

The <br>animal cried piteously for hours as the

farmer tried to figure out<br>what to do. Finally he

decided the animal was old and the well needed to

be<br>covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve

the donkey. He invited <br>all his neighbors to come

over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel<br>and

began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the

donkey realized what<br>was happening and cried

horribly. Then, to everyone's <br>amazement, he quieted

down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer

finally<br>looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.

With every shovel<br>of dirt that hit his back, the

donkey was doing something amazing. He would<br>shake it

off and take a step up. <br>As the farmer's neighbors

continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he <br>would

shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone

was amazed<br>as the donkey stepped up over the edge

of the well and trotted off! <br><br>Life is going

to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of <br>dirt. The

trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and

take<br>a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping

stone. We can get out of the<br>deepest wells just by

not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off

and<br>take a step up! <br><br>Five simple ways to be happy:

<br>1. Free your heart from hatred. <br>2. Free your

mind from worries. <br>3. Lead a simple life. <br>4.

Give more. <br>5. Expect less.<br><br><br>Hari Aum !!!
