One of my favorite stories of all time….

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.” ~James Openheim
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. It might just look that way, especially to the untrained eye. One often forgets to appreciate the greenness of the grass he’s already on.
I’ve come to the conclusion that life [...]
Parable of The Man Going Somewhere
The Person Going Somewhere ran into The Man Right Here,
One lived in a place called “Not Yet There” while the other in a town real near.
Day after day, treating life like a race,
ThePerson Going Somewhere would be at a strenuous pace.

Why am I GREAT?
Greatness is not an opinion, it’s not a criticism, nor is it title. It simply is a frame of mind.

IF~
If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
If you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise. … If one [...]

I always go by my everyday tasks in a rush. I’m always eager to do the next mundane chore on my never-ending list. I kept rushing through life, and now I’m realizing that I’ve missed out on so many things.
I used to hate being caught in traffic; I needed to get somewhere and I needed [...]
The Cookie Thief
A woman was waiting at an airport one night
With several long hours before her flight
She hunted for a book in the airport shop
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see
That the man beside her as bold as could be
Grabbed a cookie or two [...]
