The Secret to Living

We have all experienced times in our lives when everything seems to be going wrong, no matter what you touch…seems to go bad…

Have you ever had more month then money?

Always thinking about what you don’t have, feel like you have nothing to give…Tend to hold on to what you have for fear you won’t have anything for the future?

When Tony Robbins was in his teens he found himself broke with 26.00 to his name he had lent 1200.00 to a friend and was calling him to see if he could pay him back…Frustrated Tony sat down and thought about what to do next. He needed eat and be smart about spending his money as well as how he would survive. Tony decided to go to a restaurant on the other side of town. There was an all you can eat buffet for about six dollars and ninety five cents or so…There he could eat for a few days while he would figure out what to do.

As he was eating a very large portion of food Tony noticed a little boy open the door for his mother followed her to the table and held the chair for her to sit, like a true gentleman. Tony was completely taken back by this boy so much so that on his way out he stopped and introduced himself to him, told the boy how much of a gentleman he was to his female guest, the boy smiled and said-That’s my mom I’m not really taking her out I don’t have any money…Tony looked at him and said, yes you are…He proceeded to give the boy all the money he had left…

When Tony returned to his apartment later that day, the mail had arrived and much to his surprise there was a letter from his friend apologizing for avoiding him, enclosed was a check for the 1200.00 dollars Tony had loaned him plus an additional 100.00 for the delay.

This changed the way Tony looked as his life from that moment on.

No matter where our are in life know that what you focus more on you will attract. If we spend our day thinking about what we don’t have, we will tend to hold on to everything we do have.
