Fear and belief
I used to live in perpetual fear of losing things I had, or never having the
things I hoped to acquire.
What if someday I lose my hair?
What if I never get a house for my children?
What if I become out of shape or unattractive as before?
What if I lose my job?
What if I am suddenly disabled and cannot play ball with my child?
What if I get old and frail and have nothing to offer those around me?
But Mother’s Life patiently teaches those who listen.
And now I know:
If I lose my hair, I will be the best bald guy I can be, and I will be proud that
my head can still stimulate good ideas.
A big house cannot make me happy. The unhappy heart will not find
contentment in a bigger or significant house. The fulfilled heart, however,
will make any home the happiest one.
If I spend more time developing my emotional, mental and spiritual
dimensions, rather than focusing solely on my physical self, I believe I will
be more beautiful with each passing day.
If I cannot work for wages, I will reserve all my strength as well as belief to
help unhappy lives as what I get back make me richer.
