A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”
The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
Moral: Don’t Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.
has been in the wrong which is but saying…
That he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
-Alexander Pope~
The past is gone.
But it is a piece of the experience that
defines who we are today.
All fear stress and regret come from the past.
We can be free of them entirely by
choosing to live in this moment.
In this moment life is simpler mistakes are
less devastating work is more productive and
relationships are more rewarding and intimate.
Our talents and passions thrive.
The world looks different.
As tempting as it may be to fantasize the
what ifs of the past those experiences are only
helpful to us as we live in this moment.
The mistakes of the past are a source of wisdom and
insight as long as we choose to bring those things
to the present and leave regret behind.
Mistakes are a part of the process that every one
of us has to experience to learn and grow.
To forgive the past is to invite hope, peace,
innocence and freedom without limitations
