Think about this....

I read this in an email today. I wanted to share it here. I hope you enjoy it as I did.

VERY POWERFUL!


A blind girl hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.

He was always there for her. She told her
boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I would
marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything,
including her boyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can
see the world, will you marry me?'

The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he
was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She
hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the
rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later
wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your
eyes, my dear, because before they were yours, they were
mine. '

This is how the human brain often works when our
'status changes'. Only a very few remember what
life was like before, and who was always by their side in
the most painful situations.


Life Is a Gift!

Today before you say an unkind word -Think of
someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
- Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife -
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a
companion.

Today before you complain about life -Think of
someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children -Think of
someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone
didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the
streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
-Think of someone who walks the same distance with their
feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your
job -Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who
wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or
condemning another -Remember that not one of us is without
error and we all answer to the Divine. And when depressing
thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face
and Thank the Divine you're alive and still around.
