I heard a great story the other day, and I wanted to share it with you because I think it’s a really powerful message. If you have ever had any challenge or difficulty in your life, (and let’s face it, most of us have had some sort of tough situation at some point), I am a firm believer that these difficulties are there for a reason.
The Story
In this story, there is a little boy who goes into a pet store to ask the owner, “Are you selling any puppies?” The owner looked down at this little boy and replied, “Yes we are. They’re $50.” So, the little boy thinks for a minute, then says, “Well, I only have $2.37. Can I see your puppies?” The owner knew the boy couldn’t afford a puppy, but thought this situation was awfully cute, so he and his assistant went back to bring the puppies out for the little boy.
