                                                        IT IS ALL WITHIN US
There was a man who made living selling balloons at a fair. He had colors of balloons, including red, yellow, blue and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air and when the children saw it go up, they all wanted to buy one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up again. He continued this process all day. One day, he felt someone tugging at his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, “If you release a black balloon, would that fly?” Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied with empathy, “Son, it is not the color of the balloon; it is what is inside that makes it go up.”   
The same thing applies to our lives. It is what is inside that counts. The things inside us that make us go up are our attitude, self confidence, discipline and will power. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
