    The Dirt in our Lives

    One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried 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. It just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors 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 and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something awesome. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors 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 trotted off!
     
    Life is going to shovel dirt on you,

    all kinds of dirt.

    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!

    Consider that
    Consider this
    Yet consideration
    Is amiss
    Your gadgets
    And toys They
    Make so much noise
    Occupy your focus
    Like some dam hocus pocus
    Take your attention
    You owe mind to my mention
    Of how time is spent
    Wasted away indifferent
    Take your energy
    Your inner Chi
    And create a Clear vision
    With definite decision
    Throw it to the Universe
    To travel through its transverse
    Patience is a virtue
    Learn to wait and see how true
    It’s as simple as a fact
    So it must be correctly backed
    Your Thoughts
    Your Words
    Your Actions
    Must be in mutual satisfaction
    When your being is in correlation
    Master of your Own life’s creation
    Confirmations lead to
    Transformations

  • GRADUATION

    Current mood:accomplished

    Tonight I graduated from the Everest College Massage Therapy program. Yea!! Not only did I complete the program, but I did the very best. Having achieved the highest GPA in the entire program I am the Valedictorian. Which is exactly what I said I would accomplish when I enrolled one year ago. I was also honored with the Lamplighter award which mean that I, "by integrity of character does 'lead the way' for all students by demonstrating outstanding leadership". Being honored with it was a total shock though.  It feels great to do great. More than anything else I learned is that Belief in Myself is key to success. I knew it in theory, now I know it in practice. I am positive that I can do anything I believe I can do. And I am seriously excited about all the things I'm going to do now.

    To express how I feel, I made my longest crisacrostic yet...
