A long time ago, two devoted monks found themselves bound
together, travelling by foot across a vast land.
After travelling for many days without a break for many
miles, they came across a barely clothed woman sitting by the
side of the river, crying.
The woman turned to them and explained how she must get
back across the river to her children, but because she is too
weak and poor, with barely any clothes… she doesn’t think
she can safely overcome the river with it’s strong currents.
She asks if the monks can please help her across, letting them
know how grateful she would be.
The two monks pause and look at one another, and immediately,
the older monk picks up the woman and safely carries her across
the river.
When the older monk returns to his partner, some time later… the
younger monk is staring at him, horrified.
One of the many oaths these monks had taken, was to never
EVER touch a woman.
And the younger monk simply doesn’t understand how the older
monk could, in good conscience, violate this really important
oath.
Being too intimated to ask the older monk, the younger monk
says nothing, and the two of them continue on for the remainder of
their journey.
An hour passes… then a second… and then another.
And all during this time, there is tension building inside the
younger monk. He simply can NOT understand how the older monk
had the audacity to pick up that almost naked woman and carry her
across the river.
Finally, after hours and hours, the young monk can no longer
contain himself and he cries out, “How could you have picked
up that woman back there on the side of the river?”
The old monk smiles and replies, “Oh, are you still carrying her
around? I put her down four hours ago.”
We all carry around far too much stuff from our past,
for longer than we deserve to. Our backs are weighted down
with a sack FILLED with mistakes, guilty feelings, hurts,
failures, regrets over things you didn’t do or paths you didn’t
walk down, and fears about the future. And the sad thing is,
we carry these things around voluntarily.
My friend Wally told me the story that you just read, and he
asked me to share it with you, because in life it’s easy to get
caught up in the past…when you really should be moving
onto the future. When you’re focused on today your
energy is free to create your next move.
Wally used to be in a job that he hated, full of tension and
was just generally stressed out. He found a way to free his
energy and get beyond all the tension and has created a
really powerful video for you to see here:

P.S. ANYONE can put down that sack filled with yesterday’s
regrets and start a new life, starting now:
