“TIL YOU USE ME UP” – “We simply realize there is a force for spiritual growth that can help us become more tolerant, patient, and useful in helping others. Many of us have said, ‘Take my will and my life. Guide me in my recovery. Show me how to live.’ ” (The Basic Text, p. 26)
“You can use your life in a very useful and intelligent way. You can very well transform that negative energy into a positive energy that empowers you and makes life meaningful.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh (1926 – ) Vietnamese spiritual teacher/ author
How have you transformed negative energy into positive energy, lately?
The Two Frogs :
Once, two frogs fell into a pot of cream. They could not get out of the pot. So they swam round and round in the cream.
“Oh, this is the end of my life,” said one of them. It stopped swimming and died.
But the second frog swam and swam and beat the cream with its little feet. The cream became a ball of butter. The frog jumped on the ball of butter and got out of the pot!
So, never give in. (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Two-Frogs-1.html)
