AE: ANECDOTES WITH INTENTION

JOY IN THE JOURNEY




If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing.
Let me explain.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.
As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!", one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.

The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.

After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment of insects.
He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing visitors.

Then he said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!"

Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig.


IT CONTINUES...
