Donkey story.





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 neighbours 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 neighbours 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!  




"Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. "~duckieb3s





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 
- Forgive. 



2. Free your mind from worries 
- Most never happen.
 


3. Live simply and appreciate what you have. 



4. Give more.  



5. Expect less  



NOW --------Be a good Donkey and tell to all the donkeys you   Know.... 
Think like a donkey.....does this make sense.......

Even if we get hurt we still gotta tell ourselves: It's okay, as long as I'm still alive?
