The Wise Woman
by Author Unknown
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.
The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone."
Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what is inside you that others need.
Inspirational Quotes to Reflect On:
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has. Henry Ward Beecher
You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.
Garth Brooks
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Winston Churchill
Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.
Ayn Rand
