Little things

Often we pray to God for any things in life. Many time materialist but sometimes eternal like mental strength, courage, happiness and so on..
I have observed in this short trip that God has been really generous with what he decides to give and how he decides to give. I am sure many before me have found this secret. When we ask God to provide mental strength and courage what he does instead is he gives to a live scenario where you can exhibit mental strength and courage. It might be your toughest situation in life but he gives you the courage to face it. When you ask for happiness in life he gives you a perfect situation where you can be happy or find happiness. Most of the time the difficulty is inability to find these small things in life and finding happiness in it. When you have arguments in life you learn how to handle about it and hence next time you know how to handle them better. Again for this we need to review each situations and take the positive and negatives.
I have often wondered why are people born with in-born disabilities. Looks really unfair and feel sympathetic. But often I have seen people with these disabilities outshine others and come forward in life. Nick Vujicic is a perfect example! I have seen in TV where a person has no arms and he writes and draws and does pretty much everything using his legs. They are the real heros of this world. We have an opportunity to utilize our gifts the proper way and also a chance to say Thankyou to almighty. A big thanks for making me born without any disabilities and with all senses. For giving this wonderful family and friends and life partner(if that applies).
But we often forget or rather under utilize our senses. We become so blind that we tend to blind ourselves from the needy ones. We tend not to see the little things in life. He become deaf to people who give advice and ask help. We apply conditional hearing and seeing only good things and words. We cant feel the happiness in others and many times happiness in yourself.

Everyone has a small element of God living in him so we got to respect other and try to find that goodness. We live a life of perceptions and judgments. Take a walk into a hospitals general ward. A days trip to an orphanage or oldage home. Look back towards your parents. Somebody said you wont understand your parent until you become one! I retaliate, isn't that a bit too late?! Go back hope and try to lay your heads on their laps and spend some time.. There is nothing more peaceful than your mothers lap to take a nap! Play with your dog(pet). Get wet in rain. Run behind a bus. Count the stars, watch the clouds and guess their figure. Give your waiter a tip. Pray a lot more and be a lot more grateful in life. Be happy for what you have and stop worrying about things you dont have. Because you already have the best and most it never late to be happy. Nobody can ready your palm and predict your future as you decide your future and thats why its in your hands!!
