There was a man who made his living selling balloons at a fair. He had balloons of many different colors, including red, yellow, blue, green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium filled balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up, they all wanted one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up. All day, he continued to release a balloon whenever his sales down. One day the balloon man felt someone tugging at his jacket. He turned around and a little boy asked, " if you release a black balloon, would that also fly?” moved by the boy concern, the man replied gently, “Son, it is not the color of the balloon, it is what’s inside that makes it go up.”  

The same principle applies to our lives: it’s what’s inside us that counts
