On arriving, the carpenter
invited the man to come in and meet his family. As they walked toward the front
door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with
both hands. Upon opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His
tanned face was wreathed in smiles as he hugged his two small children and gave
his wife a kiss.
After introducing the man to
his family, the carpenter walked the man to the car. They passed the tree and
the man’s curiosity got the better of him. He asked the carpenter about what he
had seen him do earlier.
"Oh, that's my ‘Trouble
Tree’," the carpenter replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job,
but one thing's for sure, my troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and
the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home.
Then in the morning I pick them up again."
Funny thing is," he smiled,
"when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as
I remember hanging up the night before."
"The
prizes of life we fail to win because we doubt the power within." Wow! That
sentence really says it all. When we finally eliminate all of those self
defeating doubts that have haunted us for oh so long, we clear the path to
having, doing or being anything and everything we have ever dreamed about. This
poem reminds us to live our lives the way we were born to live them ...
confidently, courageously and without a doubt.
Just
for a moment, imagine yourself living without worry and doubt, totally free to
believe and achieve. What a way to go ... and grow! We need to stop doubting
ourselves and start believing in ourselves, our plans and our dreams. Let's stop
saying we can’t and start saying we can, we can … we can.
You
and I have always had what it takes to be counted among the best of the very
best. We can choose to live a life completely devoid of worry and fear when we
choose to live without a doubt. The moment we start believing deep down in our
hearts and our souls that we can do it, we will start living life on our terms …
without a doubt!
