One gentleman was constantly cursing his specs and how he developed weak eye sight and how problematic it is to wear spectacles and how it spoils his look and vision. I kind of snatched his specs and told him throw them away, do not wear them. He was shocked and annoyed. He said very angrily, please give it back to me or else I would get a headache in sometime. Exactly, that’s the point. Without specs, you can’t feel normal. you can’t see normal. So either you can curse your specs or you can feel grateful that because of these specs, you are able to have a perfect vision.
This is for everything in life. Our attitude will define the feelings we will have and our feelings will define the quality of life we have. If we want to be happy, we need to be, we must be and we should be grateful for whatever we have including problems. If we do not want to be, it is our choice and we can keep complaining and it really does not matter to anyone. How bad or problematic our lives are, no one cares. We want whole world to care but in reality no one cares. Even the closest ones. Even they would talk in their head “Man if you have so many problems, what can i do. Either you change it or accept it but don’t eat my head”
Life is a beautiful gift and to be happy with this gift is our choice. We need t make an effort to accept it, change it and be grateful for it. It will not come on its own. This effort needs to be made everyday and in every moment. We have to set a constant reminder that yes I want to be happy and it is a gift. How I can accept it better.
The job is bad or I have a job.
I have to take care of my parents or I am getting an opportunity to take care of parents.
I am fat or I have a 100% intact body.
My kids create a mess or I have kids who play around.
I am tired or I have so many things to accomplish everyday.
The list is endless and we have to make a choice!
