One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. 
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

LOVE cahnges you. The way you think, the way you act, the way you decide. Sometimes you ev en go against your principles and beliefs in life. Loving doesn’t always mean you’ll be happy. Sometimes, all it provide you is pain and misery. Yet you are blinded by strong emotions that you fail to see reality. Sometimes, letting go is the only answer. And it hurts like hell! But you’ll soon realize that it’s better for the person you love to be happy with you. It’s called sacrifice!!
