Still Carrying Past Rejections?
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea
Waltz
There is
a popular Zen story
about two monks. They were returning to their monastery
one evening after a rain and there were puddles of water along
the
road. At one point in the road, a lovely beautiful young woman was
standing unable to walk accross because of a large puddle of water. The
elder
of the two monks went up to her, lifted her, crossed through
the puddles and
set her on the other side of the road, continuing his way to the
monastery.
That evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, "Sir, as
monks, we cannot touch a woman?" The elder
monk answered "yes, brother". Then the
younger monk
asked, "but then how is that you lifted that woman on the
roadside?"
The elder monk smiled at him and replied, "I picked her up just one
time and left her on the other side of the road, but
apparently,
you are still carrying her."
Sometimes we can end up
holding onto past experiences - things people that have done that hurt
us or negative experiences like rejections. While challenging at first,
it's important not to let past rejections to influence how you
think and feel and what you choose to do today. You could end
up carrying them with you far too long and far too
far.

"I
don't get No as much as I used to - I enjoy it maybe more when
I do,
I really do, because how could they dare say No to me. Now I
just
look at it in life as a challenge, well, I've got to do something
better, I've got to be smarter, I've got to approach it differently, so
that's how I look at every No right now." - Larry Winget

Month's Trivia
Answer |
According
to the company that makes it: WD-40 stands for 'Water
Displacement
40th attempt' (straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who
helped develop WD-40 back in 1953, Norm Larsen.) He was attempting to
concoct a formula to prevent corrosion, a task which is done by
displacing water. His persistence paid off when he perfected the
formula for WD-40 on his 40th try.
