An Inspirational Fable for Fellow Striving Steemians Minnows,
.png)
Hi Guys,
Just take a few moments to read this, even if you've heard the story before...
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. 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 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 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 here is a steppingstone. 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:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less from people but more from yourself.

STOPGreat inspirational story. If everyone followed those 5 simple rules, this world would be filled with happier people and a much nicer one to live in. Tip!
I can see solid internal power in applying those five rules. Thanks for sharing that with us @cryptoclick
I look forward to more of your posts.
Good word!
Seeing you here :-) I just tried with that story LOL, I hoped for reposting ha ha
I'll repost it
Nope!! I just shared with you my hidden intention for posting that story... Do NOT do it, I will try to post something better, something more up to your alley. I have something super special, but that would have to wait after the holiday. And yep, I think you will like it... It is a book, a very special book I want to share with the world... (world, not world, but surely I want to share it with you.)
Oh gosh, now, all of it is in blockchain forever, public ;-) Thanks so much for your resteem @platosgroove Peace and Blessings!!
