A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and
lay around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a
nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with
him. Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played
around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he
looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer
a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied,"I want toys. I
need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money...but you can pick
all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so
excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy
never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with
me" the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family.
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, but I don't have a
house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut
all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him
happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and
sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and
play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing
to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat.
You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a
boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy
returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy But I don't have
anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said."I don't
have teeth to bite" the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on" "I
am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really can't give you anything ...
the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears. "I don't
need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The
boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest.
Come, Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad
and smiled with tears.......
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we
loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, and only
came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter
what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you
happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of
us are treating our parents.
Be honest with yourself by paying attention to your actions. Actions speak
louder than words, and they always tell the truth. What do your actions say
about you? If you say you
love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more
true - your words or your actions? On the other hand, if you say you're not
good at a certain job, but your
actions say otherwise, that's also important. What do you do with this
insight? You can use it to make more beneficial choices in your life. By
being honest with yourself based on your previous actions, your actions
moving forward will be based on truth instead of just what you tell yourself.
Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. I
call this inner voice the voice of God. This is similar to point number one,
but it takes it a step further - beyond the natural mind to the supernatural
heart. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray. However you
use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing
deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiettime will also help you
focus. I know it's hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day,
but it's so important - even if it's just 10 minutes a day and you have to
sneak away to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.
It enables you to hear God speaking to your heart reminding you of His
perfect love for you.
Despite what your subconscious may be telling you, you can have love with no
limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.
