"A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But a few days later he came back to return the
stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the
stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even
more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the
stone."

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards.
They try to have more things, or more money,
in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse.
You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want.

The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen nor touched
but are felt in the heart.
