Deep
Thought Friday
My posts are usually about My
Life Lessons. These are the things I’ve lived through, witnessed and now
talk about how they’ve affected me. In some instances, these things still
affect me. While some of those things are actual facts/events,
some are readings and information that is passed on to me.
I want to change things a little. I
want this new “Deep Thought Friday” series to be more than a casual
stop on my blog for the latest read.
I want to allow you to come up with
your own conclusion to a situation… with your own moral of the story. I want to
see if you can connect with a particular story in such a way that it will give
you a sense of purpose, a new direction or perspective, and maybe just maybe -
think deeper and further than usual.
As you read, discuss the moral in
each story with your spouse or partner, or with a close friend. Connect every
story with yourself. Challenge yourself. Think about what you’ve learned from
the story and what change you can bring to your life
“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach
you,
none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
― Swami Vivekananda
This
week “Deep Thought Friday” is about The Importance
of Not Judging…
There
was a man who made living selling balloons at a fair. He had all colors of
balloons Including red, yellow, green. Whenever business was slow, he would
release a helium filled balloons into the air and when the children saw it go
up, they all wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and
his sales would go up again. He continues this process all day. One day, he
felt something tugging his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy who
asked,” If you release a black balloon, would that also fly?” Moved by the
boy’s concern, the man replied with empathy.” Son, it is not the Color of the
balloon, it is what inside that makes it go up.”
