BEHIND THE DARK IS FREEDOM

A story was told about a Persian General during World War II who allowed condemned prisoners to choose their fate. They could choose execution by the firing squad or could decide to walk through a "huge dark entrance." No one ever chose the entrance. Prisoners prefer the horror of what they did not know. After the execution, someone asked the general what lay beyond the mysterious dark entrance: He said: "Freedom. People are afraid of that which is not known and less certain. Behind the dark is freedom, but very few men are brave enough to take it." What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of dying in a plain crash? Did you know that you have greater chance to being killed by an automobile? Are you afraid of riding in a train? You must realize that you are more likely to be killed participating in a sport of some kind. View your fears on a better and helpful perspective. I like the man who said, "I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather than screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car." In many different times, I learned that I cannot waste my time worrying about things that will most likely never happen. I am called to do my job and I need to act them!
Becoming extremely rich is dreadful because you have not been rich. You are afraid to step your feet on the foot prints of the rich. You are dread upon hearing their stories of hardships and pain. You are afraid that you will be misunderstood when they hear you say "I want to become extremely wealthy". What are you really afraid for? Are you afraid of becoming rich or are you afraid of the price you have to pay in becoming rich? Are you afraid of money because you have no idea at all what money can do to you and your family? Are you aware that it is easier to find happiness when you have money? You don't have to be afraid of anything especially of becoming extremely rich just for the reason that you heard it being bad. Look at it on a more positive perspective because if you do then you won half of the battle. You are dread because you heard that the love of money is the root of all evil. Now change your look and miraculously, you will understand that the love of people is the root of all giving! You have to have to give! It is by having that you can give!
