Are you worrying about the little duties of life? Are you grumbling about them? Are you dwelling upon the little duties, which you have to do mostly every day – every day? Like the dishes for example? The list of the little duties is in fact endless.
I am still thinking about the little duties. Otherwise I would not write about them just now. In the past I have been thinking quite a lot about the little duties
I have even talked about them – to a person I am very close to. And here is the answer I received, “I am not thinking about those things, I just do them.” No hint of worrying or grumbling in that answer.
And now I was really surprised, when I read the following in a very old book only a couple of days ago: “Life is full of little duties. Worrying about them, grumbling about them, dwelling upon them makes the duties shackles which bind us, but just doing the duties makes them wings.” – Anonymous
The compiler of the old book is H. L. Gee and the book was first published in August 1945 and the title is: “Good in everything.” A very old book indeed.
I remember the answer I received: “I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS, I JUST DO THEM.”
Guess, who gave that answer!
