This Too Shall Pass – A Life Success Tip

How often have you found yourself in the midst of a period in your life where things don’t seem to be going the way you would like? And if you are like most people you suffer through these periods. Here are four words that can help you greatly during these times: “This Too Shall Pass” These words came to me through a wonderful Book that you would benefit from enormously by reading and more importantly from implementing in your life. It was written by a brilliant man, Og Mandino, and is entitled The Greatest Salesman in the World. The book is a beautiful story that encompasses nine ancient scrolls that can truly make a difference in your life. They are meant to not just be read as part of the story, but to be lived (You are supposed to read each scroll 3 times each day for 30 days before you move on to the next scroll.) The following few paragraphs are taken from Scroll VII, which is entitled, I Will Laugh at the World: “I will laugh at the World. For how can I laugh when confronted with man or deed which offends me so as to bring forth my tears or my curses? Four words I will train myself to say until they become a habit so strong that they immediately appear in my mind whenever good humor threatens to depart from me. These words passed down from the ancients will carry me through every adversity and maintain my life in balance. These four words are: This Too Shall Pass. For all worldy things shall indeed pass. When I am heavy with heartache I will console myself that this too shall pass. When I am puffed with success I will warn myself that this too shall pass. When I am strangled with poverty I shall tell myself that this too shall pass.” The secret to living this is to be aware that each moment in life is fleeting, and whatever is occurring in that moment is temporary.
