Truthteller Exclusive...An interview with a Guru!
I've been sitting here at my computer looking over some other sites that deal with success, happiness and abundance. It started me thinking what it would be like if I were a guru, sitting on some mountain top. People would scale the mountain, risking their lives to get the opportunity to ask me great questions, like what is the meaning of life. Stuff like that.
So let me play along with you and see what wisdom or lack of wisdom comes up. I'll be the wise guru named Truthteller and you will be The Foolish One . Hey, its my blog, I get to decide who is who!
Foolish One Oh great Truthteller, I have risked my life to climb this mountain.
Truthteller Was it worth it?
Foolish One How would I know, I just got here and I haven't heard you answer a question yet?
Truthteller Well then, Foolish One, why don't you ask a question?
Foolish One Ok, I will.....I work hard, and yet I can't seem to accumulate wealth nor happiness.
Truthteller Don't tell me about your problems, tell me about your solutions.
Foolish One If I had solutions, I wouldn't have climbed up this damn moutain to see you.
Truthteller Concentrate on solutions and that is what you will find.
Foolish One I hope they don't pay you to give this kind of advice. What else have you got for me?
Truthteller The answer is within you, all you want is for me to give you a shortcut.
Foolish One You know Mr. Truthteller, the more I think about what you said, the more sense it makes to me. Maybe you're smarter than you look in those dumb robes. By the way, it almost killed me to climb this mountain. I took me 3 days and I'm beaten and bruised. I barely could summon the strength to get here. How the heck did a scrawny little guru like you make it up here?
Truthteller Oh, you really are a foolish one...It only took me 12 minutes....I took the gondola ride on the other side of the mountain.

P.S. If you enjoyed my little story, why not pass it on to someone else, maybe they will find it funny! And even if you didn't find it funny, pass it on, just to annoy someone!

Good lesson. We overlook the obvious all the time. Why is it we humans complicate things by looking for the longest, hardest, most complicated answer to questions where there are usually very simple ones?? too rushed, maybe. too dedicated? nay-- I think it's just that we want to be "smarter" than we are and just "think too much" on the wrong things at the wrong times.
Fortunatly, we discovered that we can let the universe, do the thinking for us. We just have to keep our big traps shut long enough to let the message get through.
Ha-- that's for SURE!! It's that big hole below our noses that gets us into more trouble than anything else!! Maybe the duck tape???
and that my amigo, is the highest best use for the miracle known as...duct tape!
It reminds me of the ZIGGY cartoon this past weekend. Ziggy gets to the top of the moutain and the "wise man" tells him his answer then invites him to visit their "gift shop"-- sitting on the hill just behind him. It's like that phrase "why climb the highest mountain?" to which some respond "because it's there"-- my answer is "because they're too tight to pay the chairlift!" ha.
