Story - Wealth, Success and Love

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I  don't think I know you, but you  must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came  home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed.

"How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their   daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our  guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come  in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also  got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited  Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.....!".

Five Things You Need To remember

 The pencil maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box. “There are five things you need to know – before I send you out into the world” he told the pencil, “Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be”.

“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand”

“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you will need it to become a better pencil”.

“Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make”.

“Four: The most important part of you will always be what is inside”

“Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition is, you must continue to write”

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with a purpose in its heart.

Now replace the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be”.

“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand. Allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess”.

“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you will need it to become a stronger person”.

“Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make”.

“Four: The most important part of you will always be what is inside”

“Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation is, you must continue to do your duties”

By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart.
