The Mountain Story

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Like everyone, I try to live in the present moment. But there is plenty of time that I spend wondering about what is next, how to make this or that happen and worry about, what if…? This story reminded me that our future unfolds according to our actions, projections, and energy in each present moment. We get out what we put in. So, put in with all your heart and soul. The rest just happens. Enjoy the story.

Stumbled upon this site:

A son and his father were walking on the mountains.Suddenly, his son falls, and screams:
“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!”
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain:
“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!”
Curious, he yells: “Who are you?”
He receives the answer: “Who are you?”
And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”
Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward!”
He receives the answer: “Coward!”
He looks to his father and asks: “What’s going on?”
The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.”
Again the man screams: “You are a champion!”
The voice answers: “You are a champion!”
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU.”
