Forwarded Messages- The Funeral

Hey y'all, how are you preparing for the new week? Today's article was sent to me by one of my big sisters' at church. It's a forward, of which most of us get them, but sometimes delete them. That's another discussion for another day, because she's guilty of this 'crime'. Read with meaning...

"One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big sign on the door on which was written: 'Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym. In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.

Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, atleast he died!'
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin, everyone who looked inside could see a reflection of him or herself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: 'There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth: IT IS YOU!!!'
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife change, when your company changes, when your church changes, when your location changes, when your money changes, when your status changes...

Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It's the way you face Life that makes the difference!"
Remember we all fall, but it's the way we get up that really matters- that's what counts.
She's working on it...Are you doing the same?
