I hope you are, I am……
no, not this kind.......
this kind.
Once upon a time there were these two farmers, one day they were looking in the horse barn at an old mule named Fred they had used for plowing over the years. One farmer said to the other, “man that old Jackass ain’t no good anymore, we need to get rid of him.” So they decided to get rid of that old mule; they took it out to an empty part of the field and dug a big hole, pushed him in and started filling in the hole. As you can imagine Fred was freaking out because he knew he was going to be buried alive. Every shovel of dirt landed on that old mules back, weighing him down as well as it started to fill up the hole; yes, the mule was being buried alive. But then, just like it has done over the years, the old mule started to devise a strategy, and as usual, Fred came up with a plan. The old mule put his age and wisdom to use, it figured out that with every shovel of dirt that hit him he would just shake it off and let the dirt fall to the ground and step up on it. With every shovel of dirt came another shake and another step, and another shake and another step, soon the strategy worked, the old mule was standing at the top of the hole, stepped out and walked away……
As the old mule walked away it turned to the men and said, "Who’s the Jackass now?" (Yes, Fred the mule could talk, didn't you ever hear of a talking mule? - it's Mr. Ed's cousin)
Too many people today forget that they can always shake it off, step up and move forward. So, the next time there is dirt thrown on your back, shake it off, step up and move forward.
Remember, anything is possible, yes anything, it just takes time!
