Guess “Who” is Coming to Dinner?


Say you make plans to go out to dinner with a friend, and your friend tells you that Joe, who is a really great person, is coming along. You get to the restaurant, and the three of you sit down.  The conversation involves telling each other about yourself, personal experiences, and your backgrounds.  At the end of the meal, the check comes, and you each are set to pay your portion of the bill. When Joe says, “Oh, I left my wallet at home,” and your friend says, “Its ok, I’ll take care of you this time,” Joe says, “Thank you so much.” A week later, the three of you meet for lunch, and during the conversation, you hear more great stories about Joe.  The check comes, and once again, Joe has no money. You and your friend decided to split the cost of Joe’s lunch. The following week you plan to meet for breakfast.  As you arrive, you learn that your other friend cancelled, so it will only be Joe and yourself.  This gives you the opportunity to learn even more about Joe, and you have learned so much that you now know more than your friend does who introduced you to him.  The bill comes. Guess who has no money?  Guess who has to pay?  Last question: Who is Joe?
         
Answer: Joe is you…You will be eating with Joe the rest of your life.  Did you ever eat with someone that you did not like, and you had a hard time enjoying your meal?  Well, the same can happen if you don't like Joe.  The more you like Joe, even love Joe, the more you will enjoy the energy you take in.
