"Can You Guess The Weight"

Some Basic Principles that can be applied to life. I hope this gives everyone something to think about, it sure helped me.

Can you guess the weight?

A stress management Teacher in front of a group audience.
Raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the 
"half empty or half full" question. 

But he asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

he replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long I hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm.

If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.

In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change,
but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

The stresses and worries in life are like this glass of water.

Think about them for a while and nothing happens.

Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt.

And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed
– incapable of doing anything."

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses as early in
the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.

Don't carry them through the evening and into the night.
And remember to put the glass down!
