I'd like to share a story.
A begger had been sitting by the side of the road for over 30 years. One day a stranger walked by, "Spare some change?" mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old cap.
"I have nothing to give you," said the stranger. Then she asked: "What's that you are sitting on?"
"Nothing," replied the beggar. "Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember."
"Ever looked inside?" asked the stranger. "No," said the beggar. "What's the point? There's nothing in there."
"Have a look inside," insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box with filled with gold.*This is our true wealth...our radiant joy of Being. We are fortunate to be here in bodies on the planet. I have been where you are today and I have lived through it. There are many hurdles in this life...jumping and growing are how we change. I invite you to grow.
The alternative is so final and then what?
Just know that it will always change. ..sometimes for the better. hang on and take your time. We are all out here rooting for you.
