How Heavy is Your sack of Potatoes?

Let us take a potato and write on it a name of a person who has 'fallen from grace' with us.
Do this for everyone who has upset or angered us and whom we have never been able to forgive.

When we have finished, let us gather all our potatoes and place them in a sack. Keep this sack next to us at all times:
Take it to work.
Take it to lunch.
Take it everywhere we go.
And also always have it with us at home.

How long would it take for us to grow tired of carrying this burden around?
How long would it take our potatoes to sprout into other things, fester and smell?
Would it not be nice to be free from the weight, stench, and constant reminder of hurt, disappointment, heartache, and anger?

By hanging on to things that are unpleasant, we create more anguish for ourselves.
When we forgive someone, we free ourselves from an oppressive load of negativity.


Forgiveness allows us to create peace and bliss in our lives.

So shall we have a look dear all, and see how heavy is our sack of potatoes?

OPTIMISM IN ADVERSITY

Once an Optimist and a Pessimist were going through a jungle.

As they walked, they were trying to convince each other of their trait.

Then they suddenly fell down in a big pit with quick sand.

The Pessimist was scared and was thinking that the pit was deep.

The Pessimist told the optimist , “ See now we both are in the same state.”

The optimist told “May be. You are lamenting on what has happened.

I am looking up and trying to get out.”

So there lies the difference.

You got to be your best friend

Even if no one believes in you, you got to believe in yourself.
Even if no one likes you, you got to learn to like yourself.
Even if no one loves you, you got to learn to love yourself.

In fact, only when you learn to believe in yourself, the world will believe you.
In fact, only when you learn to like yourself, the world will begin to like you.
In fact, only when you learn to love yourself, the world will begin to love you.

All in all, how the world sees you will make only a small difference to you, but how you see yourself will make all the difference to you.
