Don't we all just hate Mondays! Sundays we get this eerie feeling and we feel depressed and miserable. We moan and we groan, we feel negative because we don't know what lies ahead in the following week.
Monday comes, and nothing fancy happens. After moping the previous night and wasting precious time, we realize that it is just another day in our lives, that flies by like the speed of lightning. Perhaps it is time to look at things differently.
Isn't this one of the wisest things you ever heard?
This made me think of an old story that might change your perspective about things.
There once lived six blind men in a village. A man came up to them and said:
"There is an elephant in the village today."
The six blind men realized that they have never heard of an elephant before, so they decided to go and "see" what an elephant looks like. They all went to town and stood in front of the elephant. Some of them climbed onto the elephant to "feel" what it looked like.
After they were done, they each voiced their opinion. It turned into a heated argument because they each believed that they were right when they described the elephant.
They argued uncontrollably and became very agitated.
A wise man passed by, and he heard them arguing.
He stopped and asked them, "What is the matter, why are you all arguing?"
They told him what happened and he calmly said:
"But you are all right. The reason why you felt different things is because you touched different parts of the elephant."
Perhaps it is time that we all look at Monday as a marvelous new day. A day full of challenges, and a day full of opportunities.
If you change your perspective your whole outlook on life might change.
Today is the start of something great!
What if today was your last Monday here on Earth? Wouldn't you want it to last forever?
