The Phone Call You step across the threshold of your door on way to work, comes the ringing of the phone to make you late. Down the hall, its ring persists ‘gainst your Will braced to resist and you're unaware it’s come to change your Fate. It's an old and trusted buddy known to speak both mind and truth who you hadn't spoke or seen for quite some time who says "I do not want to borrow and there's nothing that I need. Not to call you all this while is just a crime. You're the nicest being to draw a breath. 'Round you, I'm most inspired. You're an asset to the community. In your profession, a voice desired. I'm motivated, revved up, turned on in your presence, and I must say I could change the World and save Mankind being with you 10 minutes a day." He says goodbye and hangs up. You stand there serious stunned. Your grip of phone now frozen in the warmth of morning sun. And you feel your image of self explode with chaotic change and emit a Light that makes you understand its potent range. That if you were a baker making jellies and rolls, you'd be a better baker this day. And if you were a teacher making minds unfold, you’d put the Universe on display. And if you were a laborer with sweat on your brow, you'd work with pride as you should. And if you were a student embracing tomorrow, you'd reach for it feeling you could. But you learned nothing more of baking or teaching, laboring or books on a shelf only that each man's best performance is reflected by how he sees Self. And if you can change from a call without that makes you feel you can win, what power must lie in your own human heart to change your Image within. Namyh |

How wonderful it would be if everyone received (and merited) a phone call like that!  I thoroughly enjoyed this!  EA |

No wonder we get ads, saying just a call away. Namyh.  I just love the moral and appreciate your positive thoughts.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

PrasadN – It is often fascinating the influence others have on our behavior and the influence we have on theirs. And it just takes a word. Thanks PrasadN for stopping by with your words. Namyh |

Latearrival – Sometimes we forget our best assets and gifts and must be reminded of them by someone else. Your testimony is not a late arrival. It’s just on time. Thanks Latearrival for your telling. Namyh |
