There are No Problems but Situations
In the State of Michigan lives a little bird. Winter was coming and she has to move out to some warm place. Instead of moving out from Michigan she was busy in tweeting at different trees.
Time passes and winter came, she gets cold and falls down on the street unconsciously. A cow was walking by, cow dropped a heap of cow dung straight on the bird.
The warmth of the dung helps the bird to recover and gain consciousness. After gaining consciousness, she started tweeting and jumping.
A hungry cat was passing by and heard the tweet. Cat opened up the dung and eat the bird.
The moral of the story is ‘not everybody who heaps shit on you are your enemies, not everybody who gets you out of shit are your friends’.
Life is a mystery and it changes every second. We don’t know what is going to happen next second. In seconds, many things can happen which can change the course of the world.
It simply means, what life throws at us is not in our control. More than 7 billion people live on earth. Everyone has their luck, hard work, destiny, and thinking. Life cannot be just to everyone.
It is upon the individual, how well they take care of the situation in front of him/her. Perspective plays a major role in a person life. In the same situation, one person can be joyful and others can be miserable.
There are no problems in one’s life, there are situations. If we equipped ourselves in such a way, no matter what happens, we must convert it into a possibility for ourselves.
It is because what life throws at us is not our choice, well we can manage it to some extent but not entirely.
God or creator or some cosmic power gifted human being with the power to decide and make choice for every situation. Either we can cry and put the blame on others (except ourselves) or we can use it for our benefits.
Life is full of situations; it becomes a problem when we are not able to handle it. Usually, what is the problem for one turn to be a wonderful opportunity for somebody else!!!
We can either become a possibility in ourselves or the problem choice is entirely ours. This is the choice that every individual has with them.
Don’t underestimate life. It can throw all kind of horrible things at you. If you are not aware of it then you will be happy only accidentally. We have to equip ourselves in such a way that no matter what life throws at us, we must turn it into a possibility.
“People who think only good things should happen to them are unfit for life. If you do not know how to go through harsh situations joyfully, you will avoid all possibilities”
