Daily Wisdom  – Motivational Podcast – Day 182 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond

A story is told about a father who wanted to show his quarrelsome sons the importance of living together in peace, so he asked them to bring him a bundle of sticks. Then he asked each one of them to break the bundle over his knee. They all tried, but they failed.

The father then untied the bundle and gave each one of them a single stick which they were able to break easily.

“There, you see” said the father, “If only you would unite, then you would be strong enough to meet any difficulty which may arise. But, if you work separately you will be weak, and at the mercy of anyone who might attack you.”

So, it is with life. If we work together and help one another then everything is possible. I once heard that if you help another get what they need, you will get everything you want. Life is about giving, not taking. It’s about sharing, not wanting. Although you should be careful that what you get is what you wish for. Giving, taking, and sharing is all about the other person— not from you, but to them.

Don’t attack someone else for what they do, only talk about the things which you don’t believe in. Help them see themselves greater than they are. Believe in them, and work with one another.

All of us can make this world a much better place to be, with all of us working together.
