What are your thoughts on this analogy?

"Once in a village, a woman saw three old men sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for quite a while.

The woman went outside and said,
'I don't know you, but I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.'

One of them asked,
'Is the man of the house at home ?'

She replied, 'No.'

'Then we cannot come in.', said the men.

The woman went inside. In the evening when her husband came, she told him about the people sitting outside and all that had happened.

He told his wife to go and ask those men to come in and have some food.

She went out and told them,
'My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have some food with us .'

They replied,
'We do not go inside a house together.'

When she asked why, one of the old men explained,
pointing to one of his friends, he said :
'His name is Wealth.
If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always.'
Then pointing to another old man he said :
'He is Success.
If he goes with you, you will always be successful in any endeavor you start.'

He then introduced himself as Love.
'If I go with you, then your home will be filled with love always.'

Then he told her to go in and discuss with her husband which one of them they want in their home.

Her husband was overjoyed hearing about it and said,
'Let’s invite Wealth.
Let him come and fill our home with wealth.'

His wife disagreed and said, 'Why don’t we invite Success?'

Their daughter-in-law was listening to this.
She came to them and suggested,
'Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home ?
Then our home will be filled with love forever.'

The husband and wife agreed.

The woman again went out and said,
'Which one of you is Love ? Please come in and be our guest.'

Love got up and started walking toward the house. Just then the other two also got up and started following him.

The woman asked,
'You said you can not all can come together.
I invited only Love.
Why are you all coming in?'

The old men replied,
'If you had invited Wealth or Success then the other two would have stayed outside, but since you invite Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.'

Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow." ❤️

What is that in your hand?

Often when we are going through a difficult time, we find it hard to see what we have that can be helpful. We may feel as though we are drowning under the pressure of work, challenging finances or a really stressful relationship. We may even be trying to cope with experiences from our past that were traumatic. Even though a situation may seem impossible, what if I asked you, what is that in your hand? There are many times that we may have an untapped skill that we can use to gain some extra income or we have access to a support system we did not truly realize could help us better manage what we are going through. If we take the time to look, we may find that we have a few resources that we can use to help us in difficult times.

We all have strengths that help us to excel in some area. Our strengths may differ from other people, but we are not called to look at others. Spend some time looking back over your life and see the areas that you have done well. It may even be hiding in a place you do not expect. For example, you may have been the child who was talkative in class. At the time with the teacher and your parents telling you to be quiet and stop talking it may not seem like something good. But that meant that you were a good talker. That is a strength that not everyone possesses. So what can you do with that today to help yourself? Maybe it can guide the type of job you choose to pursue. Maybe you can build an online audience that allows you to make some extra income.

If you really think about it you can find a way to use what you have in your hand to help you and perhaps others. So I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what you already possess that can be enhanced to help you grow. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help discovering what that is! Through counselling you can identify you strengths or skills and learn ways to utilize them to improve your situation. Share with me what you believe you have in your hand right now and reach out to learn how you can use it to set yourself on a new path today

This article gives an introduction in helping ourselves get on solid ground. Have a read, have your own back and set yourself on a new path today.
