In life, we people can find a million reasons to complain. However, looking around us will reveal why we should not. Lately, I have been facing some sort of crisis and I found that when times are really hard, it's easy to slide down the road to bitterness, even depression. I realized that I must STOP and HELP myself. I remembered the people with much harder plights than I have and how they carry on with life. The other, other day I saw a crippled man with deformed fingers sitting on a cardboard in front of a pharma store. He was selling sampaguita flowers; with the few garlands raised by his deformed hands. One of his hands have only one finger; the other hand is also deformed. I also saw a man on TV who lost half of his legs due to an accident. It was amazing because he still strives and manages to drive a tricycle to fend for his family. The show rewarded him with a new tricycle so he did not have to rent one.
It is when I see and remember the plight and amazing courage of people like those that I realize I have no reason to complain. I have a trillion more reasons to rejoice and be happy and thank God! Those people inspired me to see the hope in every situation; that God always knows and that He will be there to help. Yes, I WILL NOT COMPLAIN.
I still struggle for a more positive outlook each day. I however, will try to remind myself that the good always outweighs the bad. God is my stronghold; in Him there is hope.
God Bless everyone!
