Short Stories with Great Morals:
Don't wait until tomorrow Cos it won't wait for you
Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.
Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely.
Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.
However, the family still did not get to see father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he enrolled for another course in the open university.
Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Jubilantly, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for his family to be ablt to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium. Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.
As expected, Father’s hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that he decided not to take anymore courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to his family.
Father did not wake up the next day.
Moral of the story is that unfortunately the tomorrow you’re waiting for never comes. So let’s try to find a way to make it work…today.
In reality, not one of us has a guarentee of tomorrow. I know that as young people we don't tend to think that way, but it's true.
Life is a gift and just like gifts are given, gifts can also be taken away. Each one of us has been given life, but not one of us knows how long that gift is going to last for. For each one of us it's different, but one day we're all going to stop breathing and when we do, there's no more second chances.
There's no time to go back and forgive someone you've been holding a grudge against for years. There's no time to go back and ask for forgiveness. There's no time to tell someone that you love them. There's no time to accept God into your life. In the blink of an eye your time on earth will be done and while eternity awaits you, what you did during your time here depends where you going for your time there.
This life doesn't last forever. If you found out this morning that today was your last day here on earth, would you have done things differently? If so, then it's time for some re-evaluating and it's time for some changes. Life is a gift, but it's also temporary.
If you need to pick up the phone and make things right with someone, do it. Forgive those who have hurted you and move on with your life. Express your love towards your family and friends and let them know how much they mean to you. Give your time to them and give them a chance to express their love for you.Your family needs all the comforts and luxuries of life but above all they need YOU and YOUR TIME and YOUR LOVE and YOUR TRUST .Don't wait until tomorrow. As Rachel Scott once said: "Tomorrow is not a promise, but a chance." Don't wait to take a chance on something that's not guaranteed. Live your life today,the tomorrow may never come..
If we hold good thoughts and live in upright conduct, people around us get attracted by our magnetic personality. They, in turn, try to emulate us and apply such human values in their lives too. When we have fervent faith in Sai and His name becomes synonymous for peace, trust and patience, people around us get inspired and they reciprocate in similar manner. Right conduct should be our ideal. We need to speak on good subjects. The words we speak must be encouraging, affectionate, sincere and able to fill the hearts of others with joy. Sweet words and soul-endearing smiles create an atmosphere of delight. Everyone has the ability to change the conduct of others. But, we need to ensure that what we preach is similar to our practice.A person who spreads love alone can make others walk on his path. Our words charged with love will stream into others. Love flows from heart to heart. The way we behave intimately and friendly and speak sweetly will attract others. When we put into practice upright conduct and tread the right path, Baba will bless and ensure that others too follow us. This is the Love Philosophy of Baba. When we follow the noble teachings which Baba Himself preached and practised, the source of His Divine Love-Power illumines our lives, ensuring serenity, felicity and even turning others to tread the path.
