You Can Choose to Be Rich or Not

Sometimes, I don’t get it about some people’s attitudes.

Before I share this with you, allow me to tell you a story related to it.

John always goes jogging in the morning around his neighborhood.

As usual, he puts on his jogging shoes and off he goes. But this time, he encountered something weird …

As he was jogging past Mr. Smith’s house, he heard Mr. Smith’s dog howling and crying in front of the house’s porch. So, he moved closer to the dog because he was curious why it was crying early in the morning when there’s no one about!

Still mystified, he knocked on Mr. Smith’s door.

Mr. Smith opened the door and they greeted each other.
John went ahead and asked Mr. Smith, “Why is your dog crying and howling this morning? This is very unusual for it to do that.”

Mr. Smith answered, “Oh… that silly dog. It accidentally sat on a nail this morning and it has been crying ever since.”

John was confused so he continued, “So why doesn't it just stand up and sit somewhere else?”

Mr. Smith guessed, “Well, I think maybe the pain of the nail poking it is not painful enough to make it move.”

Now, I didn’t just create this story. I heard of it somewhere else but I can’t remember the author. Did you get the lesson from it?

Look carefully at yourself!

Are you sitting on a ‘nail’ but it’s not painful enough so you keep on whining and complaining especially about being financially poor?
