Did we ever say “Oh God! Why Me?” when we
received a fortune in business, promotion in job, distinction in academics,
addition of family member, recognition in society, or any incident that was
progressive/positive. The credit for the positive development is taken by the
individual and yes, we sometimes thank God as well.
However, if there has been a mishap or misfortune,
loss in business, lost a job, lost a family member, serious ailment, or any
incident that is not pleasant or positive, the immediate reaction is to
question God - “Oh God! Why Me?”
In such a situation, we never ever give discredit to
ourselves or take the responsibility with us but would like to externalize it
and blame God for the same.
Life is unpredictable – Happy and Sad,
Sunny and Rainy…
It’s strange how life works. One day things are
going “business as usual,” and then the next, something can happen out of the
blue that causes everything to change. It usually happens when we least expect
it.
When it’s favorable, bask in the excitement and joy
this unexpected event. We have to enjoy the good things that happen and give
them the time they deserve. Don’t just brush them away, celebrate them. Enjoy
the happy times and don’t take them for granted.
When bad things happen, do the best you can with the
hand you’ve been dealt. Face whatever challenge has rocked your world with
strength and courage. We need to be strong and brave. We need to handle
whatever situation we find ourselves in. Understand that life is unpredictable
and you can’t plan for everything, but it's the positive mentality of
"Never Give Up" that counts. No matter what happened, if there is a
Will, there is Way. Life is full of surprises and our way of approaching them
defines us. Timing doesn't always happen to our own schedule and that's why
patience is the key. But remember, our time will come. When Times are hard, go
easy on yourself. What you need most at this time is your own kindness and
encouragement.
Have faith and belief in your
connection/relationship with God. Have belief in your Worshiping that you have
done in past and made an excellent relationship with God. Don’t doubt on HIS
intentions. His meticulous plan of grace and abundance ALWAYS prevails. We
should NEVER stop talking and serving the God that saves me and provides for all
our needs. Practice attitude of
gratitude daily. Like, I am grateful for being alive. I am grateful for my breath, to begin with…
Remember, there is a saying - “This too shall
pass.” And, it’s true for both - just as the unpleasant things pass, so do the
good things.
We have to enjoy our present moment – “The Gift of
Today” and not worry about all the things that “could” happen.
I am true believer of “Whatever happens, happen
for Good only”.
If your beliefs and confidence are strong enough,
you can achieve something that is very difficult.
For every door that closes, there's a multitude of
windows that are opened. What we do with those opportunities is up to us. We
either go through a window or we wait for that door to open. Personally, I’d
waste no time and take the window, while waiting for the next door to open.
The blessing will be there if you are open to
finding it... staying calm. All that panic and worry, self-doubt can lead to
missing that opportunity.
There is a saying – “New beginnings are disguised
as painful endings” God is a good Leveller.
Find your Purpose of Life…
