Each time that I read this, it still strikes me.

 

FOUR WORDS

===========

 

A king called all of his wise men and counselors together for a

meeting. He addressed them and said, "I want you to go and

think, read, and research. Consult the wisest and most learned

men in the land. Spare no expense."

 

"I want you to find the ONE statement that will get me through

all situations in life. Whether I am on top of the world or in

the pits, find that statement."

 

"Find me a MountainWings Moment statement."

 

"I don't want to learn long and complicated philosophies.

I want one simple statement. Find it or write it; I don't care,

just bring me the statement."

 

The men left and consulted for months.

They finally returned and handed the King a scroll.

 

The King unrolled the scroll. On it was written four words.

 

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

 

That was it.

 

The wise men explained.

 

When you are on top of the world, that is but a fleeting

moment, things change, always remember, this too shall pass.

 

When you are in the pits, all nights are followed by day, at

your lowest moments remember also, this too shall pass.

 

All external circumstances and material things change.

 

No matter what your circumstances, remember,

 

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

 

The wise men reminded the great King that this would get him

through his earthly things but the truly wise knew there were

things beyond this earth and life. . .

 

Things that were eternal.

 

True wisdom they reminded the King was in the ability to

recognize the fleeting temporal things of the material world

from the truly eternal things.

 

O Great King they said, "Most of the things that you worry or

gloat about are temporary and our four words apply."

 

For most of your situations. . .

 

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

Re:
lol I'm getting old too. Way old! How exciting that you met someone who you can hang out with!! I hope you have an awesome time. Things have been way too busy for my own good. I'm too tired and over-working myself. Way way too much!

Things aren't going the way I'd like them to right now, couple of bad things wrapped into one day so it's got me down hearted but hopefully things will pick up soon. I've been working for like a month straight with no days off so I'm just looking forward to my day off next Monday.

lol I wouldn't be cigarettes! I don't smoke, and the only thing that I've taken advantage of, now being 18 is being able to stay out late, haha.

It's good talking to you again, Keep me in check by dropping me a line every so often! I can't leave you hanging!

Talk to you later!!!

Re:
Hey that's alright though, because ya'll women age like wine, we age like old sprite lol!!  I don't feel old until I try to go on a run, because back in the day, I was the man when it came to running, but now it feels like I'm going in slow motion, and after a while my joints be all hurting I be like dang what happen to me lol!! 

 

 

It was pretty coo, I notice that I act kinda weird around people that I don't really know, I wish I was still at home because of that, all of the first meeting, first impression stuff is long over with!  I took mad pictures though at least I can be happy about that.  I hope things start to slow down for ya'll, I know for a while getting worked overtime can be alright be after a while it can drain ya'll and that ain't good.  I hope you have time to relax and time for yourself to unwine without all the stress and annoying things in the world.  I seem to get more frustrated at things lately, so I make sure that find things that I can do to relax me before I start slapping people!!  Working out has been a blessing, pumping that iron really gets all that added stress out!  This week has been kinda relaxing for me though, they have me doing this security detail where I have to watch these dudes paint our runway,and make sure that's all they do.  At times it can be mad boring, but they are some characters though, they are always cursing at each other and giving the bird, they have these funny accents so everything that they say is hilarious!  Hey it's good chatting with ya too, I hope all the bad things that happened is in the pass now, troubles are good for one thing though and that they don't last forever.  Have a great rest of the week and a great V-Day your man betta be taking you somewhere real nice!!!

Re:
Thank you!! How are you doing? Forgive my lack of communication, I've been working like 60 hours a week and am getting worn out WAY too fast! I barely have time to come home and breathe before I pass out from exhaustion!! I miss talking to you, write me back!
bravo on
Re:
Nah hey I understand fo real, 60 hours a week that's what I like to call a lot lot!!  I know you are working hard for a good reason, but take care of yourself homegurl, have your man rub your feet and back with essential oils and play a nature sounds CD for you twice a day lol!!  It's funny how work can completely consume a persons life, I feel like that a lot myself, it's important to make a living but I think a person can kinda lose how they are in a way.  But not in a bad way but in a good I think, because if I had a choice I would sleep until 11a everyday, play basketball , hang with the fellas or shorty, eat junk food all the time and not pick up a finger lol that's the life for me, but it's not a kind of life to lead.  Parents, relatives, friends they expect a ton from us, my mom she ain't the type to really share how she feels but I know she is proud of me, and I know your parents are proud of you too, you are working hard to better your life and  that's a wonderful thing!
