Mindfulness Daily Check-In April 23, 2018
Someone in a distant land was contemplating what gift they could leave as a legacy for the world. So they came up with a plan to find a suitable person who would eventually help the people of Earth when they discovered the secret of the magic box. So the leader sent out those with wisdom all over the land and they found a simple person that could fulfill this mission and not get discouraged and give up since it may take a long time for others to discover the secret also.
So the simple person was given a box and told to show it to everyone that they meet that seems curious and sincere until they discover the secret within the box. And then they went everywhere they felt led to go looking for someone that could reveal the secret of the magic box. It was quite a mystery because they could find nothing in the box. People just scoffed at them. No one took the box and what it meant seriously.
What can we tell this simple person? What do you think the meaning of the box is?

Hi. To me that box represents ourselves. We need to fill that box with what's meaningful to us. Or, there's nothing to see, because maybe the secret is in not putting anything into boxes, not being too caught up in "having", but rather "being". Don't know if this makes sense, but I had to try. ;)
@soulsings
Good one!

@diplomaticconfucious
Hit enter before I'd finished :D Definitely a Monday for me.... anywho -
This reminded me of something that bangs around in my head from time to time... not all gifts/blessings we receive are visible - happiness, kindness, generosity, support, friendship, knowledge, wisdom, joy, and sympathy do not come with box, gift wrap or bow - but merely a tender thought and a smile from friend or stranger.
This reminds me a little of the Chinese Fable - The Empty Pot (https://www.uexpress.com/tell-me-a-story/2007/9/2/the-emperors-flowers-a-chinese-folktale).
@diplomaticconfucious I like how much you are already putting in the box and it is still empty!
Sounds like an amazing story I have not heard of by that name - bookmarked it so I can read it - thanks
@diplomaticconfucious
I love that story! Thanks for sharing it. I think I may use that someday! Ingenious!
That life has no secret. Everything that we wanted is within us, it is ourselves that we give to others that they.are blessed
@soulsings
HI Souls-wow I want more story to this
I guess I'd share life wisdoms, life lessons, cheerish time and loved ones. Don't make a mountain outta life drama, set your eyes high.
