Life is a short Journey-by Des Kelly

Life is a short Journey

A  woman climbed up the bus and sat down beside a man, hitting him with her numerous bags.

When the man remained silent,  the woman asked him why he did not complain when she hit him with her bags ?

The man replied with a Smile:

“There is no need to be upset about something so insignificant, as our journey together is so short,

because I’m getting off at the next stop ”

This answer disturbed the woman so much, she asked the man to excuse her  and thought the words needs to be written in gold

Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy.

Did someone break your heart?  Stay calm.

The trip is too short

💛

Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you?

Relax – Don’t be Stressed

The trip is too short.

💛

Did someone insult you without reason?

Stay calm. Ignore it.

The trip is too short.

💛

Did some  one make a comment  that you didn’t like?

Stay calm. Ignore. Forgive, keep them in your prayers & love them still for no reason.

The trip is too short.

💛

Whatever the problems some bring to us, it is a problem only if we think of it, remember

that our journey together is too short.

No one knows the length of our trip. No one has seen tomorrow. Nobody knows when it will arrive at its stop.

Our trip together is too short.

💛

Let us appreciate friends and family. Keep them in good humor. Respect them. Let us be respectful, kind, loving & forgiving.

Because we will be filled with gratitude and joy, after all Our trip together is very short.

Share your smiles with everyone….choose your path to be as beautiful as you wish it to be

*Our trip is Very Short*

💛

Desmond Kelly.
