MESSAGE # 102 – THE FOUR-WORD SECRET TO MENTAL HEALTH

Once upon a time, there was a queen who was sad a great deal of the time.

One day she asked the wise man how to deal with sadness.

The wise man reached into his pocket and gave the queen a silver ring and said, “Wear this.”

The queen wore the ring for a week, but there was no change in her mood.

The queen told the wise man that the ring was very beautiful but it wasn’t helping her with her problem.

The wise man said, “The purpose of this ring is to remind you of the four words that are inscribed on the inside.”

The queen took the ring off and read the four words.

Almost instantly the queen realized that she discovered something very important.

The four words were: “This too shall pass.”

The queen lived happily ever after.
