A farmer had an old mule who fell in an open hand dug well. He knew the mule was old and he was not able to get the mule out of the well, so he decided to just bury it in the well. He kept shoveling dirt into the well and it would land on the mule's back. The mule would just "shake it off and step up" with each shovel of dirt. Before long, the mule could walk out of the well. In situations that seem impossible to overcome, we need to "shake the dirt off our back and step up". Soon we will be out of the well we find ourselves in.-Author Unknown
