Know the Gift



Those who do not believe in their gifts frustrate all who believe they are gifted.

A man tossed a coin into a well. 

He went loud, "If only I had many wishes come true . . . If only I had a spacious house, a fine car, loved ones who understood my needs. If only . . . If only."

With his frustrations, he sat on the edge of the well and pondered his friends' achievements and freedoms far greater than his own.

With a sigh, he grasped a reed near the well, took out his pen knife and began to whittle . . . wanting and whittling.

Tired from the ceaseless baradge of self-indulgence, a voice from the well shouted,

"Put your fluttering lips to that flute you have created and play me a tune."
