Treasures For A Lifetime

Sing like there’s nobody listening, be glad of life, a chance to live, to love, to play and to look up at the stars.

“Nothing,” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.”

“Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger. “No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point? There’s nothing in there.”

“Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger.

The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.

———————————————————————————————————

To look to the outside for solution, is to miss the greatness you have within.

What’s in your box? Have a look inside today.
