Last night at work, I have nothing to do in the unit. It was those very quiet and serene moment I ever had judging that the cold season is fast approaching. I only have two patients.
It was pouring rain outside the hospital's parking lot and according to the radio forecast, when I was driving to work earlier, California will have a two-day rainy moments because of the storm spotted west of the Pacific Ocean.
It was odd though, because it seldom rain her in Los Angeles. And while I was driving I could see accidents mushroomed everywhere..... left and right, causing a heavy traffic on my way to work. I was late to work earlier......
People just don't know how to drive when it rain. No discipline at all. They're just in a hurry to go home and not even mindful of the rain that was happening. How much more if it's snowing her in Los Angeles? Aaah.... it's crazy!
Enough for that crazy and mind-boggling situation outside.......
After I assessed my patients and did my initial vital signs, I also did and finished my usual routine of refilling and double-checking and marking the charts for any unfinished documents. I was super bored and have nothing to do. So, I was tempted to open my Facebook account via my very handy and portable iPhone.
I was browsing the iLaugh application to check some good and inspiring jokes to amuse me from my boredom when I came across this little meaningful passage that really inspired me.
And I would like to share it to you here on my blog. I guess this will also inspire all of you as it inspires me a lot. Hope you'll enjoy it and live it in your everyday lives.
And here it goes:
"One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. the animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so it just wasn't worth to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt you can think of.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.
We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping, never giving up! Shake the dirt off and take a step up! Remember the five simple rules to be happy which is: a.) Free your heart from hatred, b.) Free your mind from worries, c.) Live simply, d.) Give more, and e.) Expect less."
And life will all be easy and fulfilling.
Yeah, sometimes we tend to ignore the bitter realities of life but we tend to forget that as life runs it's own course we forget that we have to meet some obstacles and hindrances along the way, then right there life has to run it's different course in order to arrive at the same goal.
Life is always flexible and we don't need to lose hope and hope for our lost. We have to believe in ourselves and never give up. Because quitter's doesn't have a place in this big space we are living in.
Life has to go on and we should never quit and give up. Instead we have to step up all the time. Got it!
