How we look at Life is our own choice <\/font><\/p>\n Once a monk, along with his disciple, happened to pass through a place where a very big temple was being built. He saw three laborers crushing the stones there. The monk saw that all the three laborers have different expression on their face. The first man was angry, the second one was sad and the third one was happy. The monk came near to them and asked the first man, ” My brother, what are you doing?”. This man was angry and he replied even more angrily, “Are you blind? Can’t you see I am crushing the stones?<\/p>\n The monk moved forward and approached the second labor who was sad. There was sadness in his eye. The monk asked the same question to him, “My brother, what are you doing?”. This man reply gloomily, “I am earning my bread and butter.”<\/p>\n On listening this, the monk smiled and moved towards the third man who was singing while crushing the stone. This man was in a very happy mood. The monk came near to him and asked him the same question, “My brother, what are you doing?”. The man smiled at him and say, “I am building a temple.”<\/p>\n The monk smiled again and turned to his disciple. “Have you observed this ? I asked the same question to three man who were doing the identical job of crushing the stones. One man said he was crushing the stone, the other one said he was earning his bread & butter and the last one said he was building the temple. They are doing the same job but their attitude towards their job is entirely different. For one man it is a burden, for the other it is a duty and for one it is a joy.”<\/p>\n We can have similar attitudes towards our own life. We can become frustrated and angry with what we have got. Or we can accept it as our fate and become a sad actor in this stage called life. Or alternatively, we can become thankful for all that we have got and start enjoying it in whatever little way we can. No matter how difficult, sad and hopeless your life seems to you; there must be many thing in it which you can enjoy and be thankful of.<\/p>\n Honestly, how we perceive life is entirely dependent on us. Not everyone of us can enjoy the life like a king. There are many factors that ultimately decide our destiny on earth. However, it is always possible to find little moments of happiness in our life. We only need to search a bit to find all good things in our life.<\/p>\n ********<\/p>\n Meditation Articles from around the word<\/font><\/p>\n As I browse the web for meditation news and breakthrough, I cam across three highly informative and useful articles on Meditation.

Failing to get into any Broadway chorus lines, she worked as a waitress and a soda jerk in a Broadway drugstore.<\/p>\n Lucille Ball became the star of one of the most successful comedy shows in television history I Love Lucy, <\/em> ran Desilu Productions, and won four Emmy Awards.
