Hercules and the Wagoner
October 16th, 2009 | Author: Pure Thoughts Admin
A carter was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: “Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself, or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain.”

Raymond Holliwell
Crowd out all inferior thoughts by superior thoughts, evil thoughts by good thoughts, ugly thoughts by beautiful thoughts, distressing thoughts by pleasant thoughts, and you will begin to overcome the growth of all negative and confused states of wrong and discord. In other words, learn to think constructively of all persons, all things, all events, and all circumstances. Appraise them from the ideal point of view. As you do this you will gradually transform your whole existence for the better. These are the means whereby you may steadily promote your welfare and advancement.

I remember the night in Miami when our son, Ian, was just five years old. We were staying with relatives and it was his bedtime. When I looked at the living room floor, I knew we had a problem. Toys were all over the place. “Ian,” I said, “you need to pick up all those toys before you go to bed.”
“Daddy,” he said, “I’m too tired to pick up my toys.”
My immediate inclination was to force him to clean up the room. Instead, I went into the bedroom, laid down, and said, “Ian, come here. Let’s play Humpty Dumpty.”
He climbed up on my knees and I said, “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.” And he fell. Ian laughed and said, “Let’s do it again.” Well, after the third “fall,” I said, “Okay, but first go pick up those toys.”
Without thinking, he ran into the living room and in ninety seconds he finished a job that could have taken half an hour. Then he jumped back on my knees and repeated, “Daddy, let’s do it again.”
“Ian, I thought you were too tired to pick up those toys.” He answered, “I was, daddy, but I just wanted to do this!”
We can finish any job when we have the “Want to!”
