Story :A girl lost her favourite watch and she was very unhappy, she even fell sick because of that.
The priest came to visit her while she was sick and asked her, "If one day you accidentally dropped one hundred thousand dollars, would you accidentally dropped another two hundred thousand dollars again?"
The girl replied, "Of course not."
The priest said again,"If that is the case, why did you let yourself lose two weeks of happiness after you have lost your watch? And also went on to let yourself lose two weeks of health?"
The girl was suddenly enlightened and jumped out of bed. She said, "You are right. I refuse to lose more than what I did. From today onwards, I will earn back the money I need to buy myself another watch."

Reflection:
Life is full of winning and losing and also full of challenges. It doesn't matter if you lose, if you live for yourself, then that is truly LIFE.
Some people refuse to accept the truth and to start again, thus they end up losing more and more in life and end up nothing can be done to bring back what they lost.
If you are losing in your life now, don't continue letting yourself lose more than what you did. Put a stop to that situation and do not be afraid to start from scatch.

it is the realisation of how much you already have."
