French Legend - Moral of the Story - It's a Matter of Consciousness
Jul 25, 2010:
A poor man was walking along the road when he met a traveler, who stopped him and said: "My good friend, I see you are poor. Take this gold nugget, sell it, and you will be rich all your days".
The man was overjoyed at his good fortune, and took the nugget home. He immediately found work and became so prosperous that he did not sell the nugget. Years passed, and he became a very rich man. One day he met a poor man on the road. He stopped him and said: "My good friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which, if you will sell, will make you rich for life." The man took the nugget, had it valued, and found it was only brass. So we see, the first man became rich, through feeling rich, thinking the nugget was gold.
Every man has within himself a gold nugget, it is his consciousness of gold, of opulence, which brings riches into his life. It is what he thinks and sees that determines his future.
As William Blake wrote: "To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower; to hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour."
