A conversation between Wayne Dyer and his student:
If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out? I asked him.
He looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, Juice, of course.
Do you think apple juice could come out of it?
No! he laughed.
What about grapefruit juice?
No!
What would come of it?
Orange juice, of course
Why? Why when you squeeze an orange does orange juice comes out?
He may have been getting a little exasperated with me at this point.
Well, it s an orange and that s what s inside.
I nodded.
Let s assume that this orange isn t an orange, but it s you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, says something you don t like, offends you.
And out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness etc. Why?
The answer, as our young friend has told us, is because that s what s inside .
It s one of the great lessons of life.
What come out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you?
If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it s because that s what s inside.
It doesn t matter who does the squeezing: your mother, your brother, your children, the government.
If someone says something about you that you don t like, what comes out of you is what s inside.
And what s inside is up to you, it s your choice.
When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it s because that s what you ve allowed to be inside.
Once you take away all those negative things you don t want in your life and replace them with love, you ll find yourself living a highly functioning life.
Squeeze out of yourself Love and Compassion!!!
When you ignore to learn what you are inside, suffering follows.

I would like to add when you do not already have got an insurance policy or perhaps you do not remain in any group insurance, you might well really benefit from seeking the aid of a health insurance agent. Self-employed or individuals with medical conditions commonly seek the help of any health insurance dealer. Thanks for your post.
