Seeds & Fruit

A man had a dream. He saw himself in front of a shop. The sign on the shop said, "Wishes For Sale". 
He went inside and asked the salesman: 
"I would like to buy my greatest wishes, Peace and Love". 
But the salesman answered: 
"Sorry, sir. Here we sell the seeds, not the fruit."
(from A. de Mello)

Make the right choice

Sometimes things happen when you least expect them. I'm referring to "good" things. You may be in a difficult situation you can't presently see a way out from, so you tend to give in to hopelessness, even desperation. Please, don't. If you are able to convince yourself that a positive attitude, a willingness to expect the best are preferable - and choose them - you will eventually have the proof that it was the right choice. Things "will" get better. Your seemingly desperate situation will improve, an opportunity will arise, the wind will start pushing your sailing boat forward. And you will breathe a sigh of relief.

Think again, please.
