Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King. Why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy?
 
    The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy"?

    The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much; just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies."

When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The path lighted wasn’t a pretty sight, shadows awaited in every corner and roots seemed to cover the whole way. Slowly and with much care we made our way through. Eyes piercing in the dark and quiet whispers like never ending echoes could be heard. I could hear her heart as we walked and wondered how come I couldn’t hear mine.

To find a friend amongst the reads that are with out count
is to find a diamond hidden amidst infinite shards of glass

Stretching ones arm to grasp at potential scores the arms
only though to hold, even but once, the reward numbs all

Passion for spirit burns with in
The dreamer is always seeking the in

New mediums are every moment sought
But the truth is in persistance with what is ought

What he should is what there is
The new will leap from where he is

Life pounds
   Life grounds
We bend
   We rend

Focus now
   Focus how
Patience grows
   Patience knows
