WordPress A Post A Day/Week #17 ~ What gives you hope?

What gives you hope?

I do!  Yes, I am going back to myself again. Who else can I count on though if not myself? No one.  You always need to start with yourself.  I think that this is the biggest mistake that people make. They don’t believe in themselves, trust in them selves, care enough about themselves.  That is shit! Don’t go and find God… find yourself! Give yourself some hope for a change.  Make life better for you, don’t sit around and wait for someone else to do it for you, because, well good luck with that one. Well, come on.  It’s true. Admit it.  Get happy, have some fun, hug a damn stranger… I do… it makes me feel good. When I feel good so does everyone else. Give it a try… maybe you’ll like it!  😉

  1. One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish. About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family. “You aren’t going to catch many fish that way,” said the businessman to the fisherman. “You should be working rather than lying on the beach!”

    The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, “And what will my reward be?” “Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!” was the businessman’s answer. “And then what will my reward be?” asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman replied, “You will make money and you’ll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!” “And then what will my reward be?” asked the fisherman again. The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman’s questions. “You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!” he said.

    “And then what will my reward be?” repeated the fisherman. The businessman was getting angry. “Don’t you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!” Once again the fisherman asked, “And then what will my reward be?” The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, “Don’t you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won’t have a care in the world!” The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, “And what do you think I’m doing right now?”
