An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house,the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
Have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

Mindless Thoughts
A friend of mine is very into stock market. He likes it enough to even think of being a full day trader.
Education system that we all went through emphasises in study hard and do well for exams for that when we grow up, we can secure a good and respectable blue collar job. So we will spend the rest of our lives working for money by trading our times. We buy houses, cars and set up families and we spend years clearing the debts we incur.
That is why my friend wants to get out of this devious cycle - the rat race- through an escape route available, which a man could build his own business or spend some money in investments. He chooses trading. The potentials are surely there.
The thing is, every few years, the stock markets would crash and cause economy downturns, and people will get devastated. There will come to a point where they would warn their children to get a secure job instead of being entrepreneurs and investing because risks. A wrong move could set you back years.
I am not sure why I write this today. It's just things that come into my mind and I just put it in.
Oh yeah, I receive Maria Duval's latest letters. I like what she writes there.

How Do I Figure Out My Past Life?
Reincarnation has always been a term that people often times ponder about, many may ask, "how do I figure out my past life?" Well, in order to figure out your past life you need to have the belief that you were here once before.
The past life references are strongly connected to the Hindu and Buddhism faith, however many Christians have also shown a bit of interest in past lives. The feeling of almost feeling like you have been here before or seen something that you can't make out, is often times what sparks people's imaginations and gets their minds going about a past life.
There is an adage that many people use which refers to people being here before. It's almost as if everyone is recycled on the earth. A lot more people believe in a form of reincarnation today then ever before. People have turned to use a plethora of aides to help them figure out things about their past lives.
One of the first things that people often times turn to, is help from the spirits. A wiji board, is something most people turn to as a means to get answers about a past life existence. According to the myth behind the board, you can talk to any source of spirits and they will tell you things.
Often times people become so freaked out by what the board has to say, that they throw it away in fears that the things being said may come true. However, there are other ways to figure out your past life.
You can do a history search of your family. Often times finding out where your family was from, will help you depict things that you could have gone through in another life. Genealogy sites can even show you pictures, you would be surprised if you were to run across someone that looked like you, but this fact could prove reincarnation to be true.

Mentality difference
Maria Duval has stressed many times the importance of being positive in life. When one becomes positive in life it attracts the universe to unfold your heart desires. When you find your potentials and stay positive in life, your success keeps on increasing, we're not living in harmony with what the universe wants to provide and it's keeping us from making our lives more meaningful and beautiful.
Friends and colleagues told me that they are very tired mentally of having to earn for a living, from salary to next salary. The question is, what's next for you? You must think out of the box to harness the powerful forces of the universe. Life maybe be a success if you really possess the inner desire to want to be successful through your "fast car".
There is no difference between a rich man and a poor man physically. The real difference is rich man harnesses his creative mind. To manifest something new simply hold an image of what you seek in your mind and express gratitude to the universe for having granted this to you.
To achieve wealth apply this same principle and hold a clear vision of wealth you hope to attain then expressing gratitude that the wealth is coming to you. You must have unwavering faith and devout gratitude.
All you include in your mental image will come to you through the physical realm through the process of natural ways such as trade and commerce. Its is gesture that renders us more porous to the offering of the divine, more receptive to the prompting of the infinite, we have to launch our self's to a journey that will lead us to the fulfillment of our dreams in life.
