To believe everything is too much, to not believe anything is not enough.

I thought I’d share an old German proverb this week:

 

To believe everything is too much, to not believe anything is not enough.

 

Have a balanced week, believe in what you can accomplish, but don’t just be a dreamer.

Have you heard the one about the boy and the pile of manure?

I’ll try to start this up again for 2015.

 

Below is one of my lost-way-too-early father in law’s favourite stories.

 

Let’s keep this in mind as we move from some of the difficult times we have gone through in the past and look forward to 2015 with renewed vigor, positivity and enthusiasm.

 

Have a great week!

 

It reminds me of the story about that little boy. Have you heard this story where, you know, a man walks by the barn and sees this little boy in this room filled with manure? And he’s [the boy] standing there and he’s digging, and he’s digging, and he’s digging. And the man says, ‘Son, what are you doing up to your hips in manure with that little shovel?’ The boy says, ‘Well, with this much manure around, there’s got to be a pony—and I’m going to find it.’”
