Love, Wealth & Success

[Soroush Ebrahimi]

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them.
She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in
and have something to eat."

Is the man of the House home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said, pointing to one
of his friends, and said, pointing to the other one, "He is Success, and I
am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one
of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was
overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite
Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.
She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite
Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love?
Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up
and followed him Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only
invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the
other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He
goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and
Success!!!!!!"

"What makes an action good or bad is the absence or presence of
selfishness."
MY WISH FOR YOU...

-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.

-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your
ability to work through it.

-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding,
patience, and renewed strength.

-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.
