There once were three bricklayers collaborating side by side on a building site. A interested onlooker questioned each of them about their activities.
With a disgruntled expression, the first bricklayer said, "I'm just laying bricks." I'm eager for the day to end since it's boring."
The second one, a little more upbeat, declared, "I'm constructing a wall. I work for the income, and I do it to provide for my family."
But the third answered enthusiastically, "I'm building a wonderful cathedral! With every brick I lay, we go closer to creating a house of worship where individuals can come to terms with their spirituality and feel a connection to something bigger than themselves. Being a part of this effort is an honor.

There is a Thin Line Between Tears of Sorrow and Tears of Joy
I remember when my mother passed away. After the tears from the initial shock, our family sat in the living room and shared memories. We talked about her love and compassion toward others, the lessons she taught us about honesty, and how she taught us the importance of respecting ourselves and others. Then we started sharing memories that made us smile and eventually, each of us began to relax and tell stories that made us laugh.
