'Worry Beads or a Trouble Tree? Hmmmmm"

The Trouble Tree
By: Author Unknown

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse 
had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire 
made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and 
now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On 
arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked 
toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, 
touching tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door, he underwent an amazing 
transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and 
he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. 

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and 
my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I 
had seen him do earlier. 

Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't 
help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, 
troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the 
children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night 
when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up 
again." 

"Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the 
morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I 
remember hanging up the night before." 



What can you come up with that will work for YOU?

Did YOU Know?

Did you know that it is difficult to get what you can’t give and that Giving comes first?

I have never ever met a truly wealth person that hasn't been a giver first!

When they give from the start [and that means where you are now] there appears a lot more room for the "REAL RICHES" to enter into your life!

It’s called flow.... A river must have flow or it becomes stagnant.

We as humans also achieve our Perfect flow when we Give..

LOVE - when we give it we are open to receive it
Money - when we give it we are ready to receive more
Time - when we give of our time we are investing our most precious resource as it's the only thing we cant get more of! So invest it wisely...

In you exercise program
in your relationships
in your children
in your self
in doing what you are passionate about
in dreaming yourself into a better life
in the services of others..
in continuous learning
in teaching others

What was it that you really wanted to do?

So if you are waiting for riches to come to you ... take riches to someone else first!

If you are waiting to be loved ... Love some one first!

If you are waiting for some one to help you ... Help someone else first!

Cheers....
