(Book to read secrets about life every woman should know by Barbara de Angelis)
When you go through life
expecting what is happening outside to make you happy.
You are setting yourself up for failure.
You are setting yourself up for misery.
You make yourself a victim of
circumstances you cannot control and you become dependent on others for your
own state of joy and contentment.
Today I would like to
share this story with you .It’s a story from ancient India.
In the beginning god
created the universe and all the people in it so that everyone was aware of his
or her true oneness with god and the great love within themselves.
These were the secrets
of life, and after all, god loved everyone so why not give them the greatest gift
he could think of.
He then sat down and watched
the play of life with all of its dramas unfold,But as he watched he
realized something was very wrong.
Whenever a human being met with a challenge
or went through tough times the person would say to themselves. ‘’This is
aweful.why should I go through this? I am one with god so I will just drop this
human form and merge back into him.’’
And that’s exactly
what happened one by one each human would remember his true self and be
unwilling to play the game of life.
God was very disturbed
by this dilemma. The purpose of life was to learn grow not to bailout when the
going got rough. So he called an emergency meeting with his divine beings.
‘’after much
consideration,’’ god began, ‘’I have decided that we are going to have to hide
the secret of life ,the secret of happiness from these humans. If they remember
it they have no interest in living an earthly life.’’
‘’But where will we
hide it? ‘’one divine being asked. ‘’Let’s hide it at the top of the highest
mountain on earth .’’someone suggested.
‘’No that won’t work.’’
god replied shaking his head. ‘’Human beings are resourceful they will find
ways to climb up there and discover it.’’
‘’What about at the
bottom of the ocean .they will never go there another one offered.’’
‘’Oh yes they will .’’god
interjected “they will invent submarines. The bottom of the ocean won’t do.’’
Someone else said,’’
lets hide it in outer space. Surely it
will be impossible for them to locate it.’’
God said ,’’that won’t
do either they will invent space ships and travel in space’’.
None of these
suggestions will work .There has got to be somewhere we can hide the secret of
happiness where human will not find it.
I know where e can
hide it” a soft voice spoke.
‘HIDE IT DEEP WITHIN THE HUMAN HEART THEY WILL
NEVER LOOK THERE’’.
God smiled he knew he
had found the answer and then he made it so and that’s where it has been ever
since.
I think this is the kind of story that should last a lifetime.
The kind of story you go to sleep thinking about. It is truth in itself as
humans we always look externally to understand things or blame external factors
in our life but we seldom look within ourselves.
Our mind, body, spirit and soul are the most powerful things
in the universe. Yet we don’t even realize it.
