Rich Or Poor - How Rich Are You?
One day a rich father took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.
They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family.
When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"Very good Dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yeah!"
"And what did you learn?"
The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end.We have imported lamp in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."
When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

The Secret Of Life
The Secret Of Life
As the Lord God was
creating the world
he called upon his archangels.
The Lord asked his archangels
to help him decide where to put
the Secret of Life
"Bury it in the ground," one angel replied.
"Put it on the bottom of the sea," said another.
"Hide it in the mountains," another suggested.
The Lord replied, "If I see to do any of those
only a few will find the Secret of Life.
The Secret of Life must be accessible
to EVERYONE!"
One angel replied, "I know; put it in each
man's heart. Nobody will think to look there."
"Yes!" said the Lord.
"Within each man's heart."
And so it was -
The SECRET OF LIFE
lies within all of us.

My declaration of Selfesteem
I AM ME
In all of the world, there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it-- I own everything about me:
My body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, Whether they be to others or to myself-- I own my fantasies, My dreams, my hopes, my fears-- I own my triumphs and my successes, all my failures and my mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me-- by so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts--
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know-- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles
And for ways to find out more about me--- however, I look and sounds, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me--
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that wish is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded-- I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me -- I own me, and therefore I can engineer me --- I am me and
