Dirt To Diamonds
“In South Africa, they dig for diamonds. Tons of earth are moved to find a little pebble not as large as a little fingernail. The miners are looking for the diamonds, not the dirt.
They are willing to lift all the dirt in order to find the jewels. In daily life, people forget this principle and become pessimists because there is more dirt than diamonds.
When trouble comes, don't be frightened by the negatives. Look for the positives and dig them out. They are so valuable it doesn't matter if you have to handle tons of dirt.”

I was just having coffee the other day with a friend, and he was lamenting some aspect of his life. So I helped him "mine the diamond," so to speak and we found four or five good things he could be grateful for amidst all the "dirt."
Great analogy!
What a beautiful reminder...thank you!
Thanks for this most inspirational reminder to look for the goodness in all things.
Peace, Light and Love, C.
