NAILS IN THE FENCE

NAILS 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 nextfew 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. But It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. 

family problems- it's the way you deal with them

Two men, one American and a Hindu Indian were sitting in a bar and discussing about their family problems.

Shot after shot. The Indian man said to the American: "We have problem in India . We can't marry the one whom we love. You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely and domesticated girl from a village whom I haven't even met once. We call this an arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a woman whom I don't love. I told my parents that openly and now have a hell of a lot of family problems." 

The American said: 
"Talking about love marriages, in America we can marry the one we love. 
Let me tell you my story. I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated her for three years. After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and married her, so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law. Legally now my daughter is my mother and my wife is my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he is my uncle. The situation turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father's son, my brother, is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grandfather and I am my own grandson. 

And you say you have family problems?" 

The Indian fainted.

I'm not negative by nature

I'm not negative by nature, but up until recently I tended to worry a lot, get stressed out over the smallest of things, and feel as though the world was judging me. I always assumed the worst in people, and I think because of all of the negative vibes around me - I attracted a lot of it back.

I'm not sure what exactly made me have a light bulb moment, but earlier this year I decided two things:

I didn't want to spend my life worrying or feeling negative about silly things
I didn't want to look back on my life one day and regret everything I missed out on for feeling that way
I won't lie- this type of thinking is a daily practice for me. Sometimes I have to stop myself in the middle of a thought or as I'm about to say something, and ask myself if this is the type of person I want to be. I am happier with my life today, more so than I have ever been. It has nothing to do with materialistic things, and all to do with my state of mind.

Don't be a chicken in life-LIVE YOUR DREAMS

Do you remember when you were younger and you had big dreams?

Dreams so exciting that you couldn't wait to grow up so you could
pursue those big dreams?

When you told an adult your dream, they'd say that it was great. No one told you it wasn't 

possible.

Somewhere along the way your dreams started to fade.

You may have forgotten your dreams, got distracted, or saw others fail in their dreams 

so you believed yours wasn't possible.

And those adults who believed in your when you were young? They told you to be realistic. 

They told you to get a real job.

I want to help you get those dreams back and show you they're not only possible, but attainable.

Reminds me of a story I read once about a large mountain where an eagle's nest rested. 

The nest contained four eggs. One day an earthquake caused one of the eggs to tumble 

down the mountain to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.

The chickens cared for the eggs as if it were one of their own. One day the egg hatched 

and a beautiful eagle was born. 

But the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 

than a chicken. 

While playing a game on the farm with some of his chicken friends one

day, the eagle looked up and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies.

"Wow," said the eagle, "I wish I could soar like those birds." The chickens all laughed at him. "You cannot soar with those birds. You
are a chicken and chickens do not fly."

The eagle kept looking up at his real family, dreaming that he could be with them. 

Each time the eagle let his dream be known, he was told it couldn't be done.

The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live his
life like a chicken.

Finally, after a long life, the eagle died...as a chicken.

What's the moral of the story? If you listen to the chickens around you, you'll live and 

die like them - a chicken.

Inside you is that eagle.

I sense you're similar to me. We both know we're meant for something greater. 

We don't just want to be chickens!

This is your call to soar. You are an eagle. It's time to follow your dreams and not listen 

to the chickens
