The world is mine - Gratitude

Labels: christianity, gratitude, life, poem | at 9:39 AM

Hi fellows :) This is a poem i was sent and thought of sharing since i liked it. It did not have the authors name so i have no clue of who is the author.

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman
And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch.
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you,you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes; the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child I knew.
He stood and watched the others play,
but he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join them dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go..
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

— Author Unknown

Now if someone is reading this and has no feet, ears or something else. Don't worry. The world is your as long as you are grateful with what you have and fulfill your special God-given purpose of existence.

Happy & Blessed New Year to all my readers

Hi ladies and gents in case you want to read more hair related and random post from me feel free to check out/follow my other blog by clicking here.Though both are still active.

This is a re-post from there:

You get a sincere compliment; a statement like...

you are intelligent... your ladylike...your very strong... it all sound so funny to you and you suddenly start laughing.

Let's see this conversation i made up:

Bolt: "You are so young yet so put together,intelligent, a lady..."'

This starts to sound funny to Carmen then all of a sudden she burst out into laughter.

Carmen: "Ha ha ha ha"

Bolt: *....total silence or if lucky enough asks why you are laughing*

Let's go the opposite way

Carmen: "Can you please help me with maths?I know you are one of the intelligent ones.."

This starts to sound funny to Bolt or makes him a bit uncomfortable then all of a sudden usually one of this two scenarios take place:

A.Scenario

Bolt:"Nah, i'm not that intelligent..."

B. Scenario

Bolt:"Haha you really think so?"

Carmen: *long silence.. startled*

And the list and stories go on and on and on, with even more group of people...

Do you know what happened now?

This is a lesson i learned and i found really interesting that i had to share with you to help others too.

The person has a belief in you lets say 70% so complements or states positive things about you.You on the other hand because maybe you don't want to look overly prideful,don't believe that much in your potential or maybe due to self esteem issues you brush it off.And how?With the laughter.That laughter don't always come in a negative or cynical way.Sometimes it just pops out on it's own without wanting to be mean or anything.That same laughter makes the person start questioning you...Why did he/she laughed, maybe she/he is right; she/he knows herself/himself better than i do...you then get that 70% belief the person had for you and lower it into a 30% or sometimes even deplete it.All this happened without you nor i taking notice and that's the sad part of it.Instead you should enhance the 70% into a 100% without being prideful.That keeps both positive and you keeping a balance that's healthy to your esteem.I hope this was helpful to someone.

Let me go back to the scenario in a right form:

Bolt: "You are so young yet so put together,intelligent, a lady..."'

Carmen: "Thanks.I appreciate your kind words.That shows that my hard work it paying off"

Bolt: *smiles*

Let's go the opposite way

Carmen: "Can you please help me with maths?I know you are one of the intelligent ones.."

This starts to sound funny to Bolt or makes him a bit uncomfortable then all of a sudden usually one of this two scenarios take place:

Bolt:"Okay let me see what you've got, i'll try to help as much as i can."

Do you see the difference?Put yourself in both shoes and you will get what i mean.So lets try to remove that degrading laughter away and work on being a better person.

Be aware of the degrading laughter :)
