PAUSE
The chief issued an edict:
“I have arranged for baskets to be placed in several places in the village. I want you to write down your bad feelings on pieces of paper, crumple them and throw them into baskets. Then fill your hearts with your winning moments …times when you were at your best, your most creative...when your actions brought joy to others...when you were in total control. Relive them. Dwell upon them. And see your body and your mind transform.”
The people followed the chief’s advice. And they lived happier and fuller lives. After a while just seeing the baskets energized them. Over time these baskets were used to put in waste and came to be called waste baskets. But those who know the story remember to fill their hearts with beautiful thoughts as often as they can.
