There is saying in life that;
"money rules everything!"
I am here to make a stand
to say to those who believe
"money rules everything",
do so at your own folly and loss
of the many possibilities
and opportunities
that money has no control over.
Have you ever bought a feeling,
a sincere smile,
a meaningful embrace,
a kind gesture?
All of these experiences
are priceless and cannot be bought.
It is possible to get a token gesture,
yet there is no heart or real feeling in it.
Our preoccupation with money
limits our potential in our life.
The joy of the experience,
the satisfaction of achieving something,
the feeling of being worthwhile,
can all be tainted by
placing a monetary value on it.
It is time for us
to take a different approach?
Let us look
at what we are doing,
where we are going,
and see the foolishness of our ways.
In our quest for money
we are forgetting
two important points,
we enter this life with nothing
we leave this life with nothing.
Are we here to provide a legacy
for others
or to make a difference?
Do you want to be judged
by what how much you have
or
by the contribution you made
while you were here?
Your true wealth
it is measured
by the experiences
you share with others.
As we are in a society
where money is important,
make a choice
to make it not the
only importance.

Nail in the Fence
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. "A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us."
Show your friends how much you care. Share this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends. Now send this to every friend you have!! And to your family. Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole."Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there."
