A father was reading his favourite magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him.
Trying to keep her daughter busy, he tore out one page on which was printed the map of the world. He then tore the page into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.
Having done this, the father was now convinced he would read his magazine without any disturbance and also that it would take her daughter the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within two minutes with the perfect map.
The curious and confused father asked her daughter how she could do it so quickly??
She giggled and said , "Oh… Dad, there is God's face on the other side of the paper, I made His face perfect to get the map right."
Satisfied with the answer, she ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
In life there is always the other side to whatever you experience.
Too bad, often times we fail to look at the other side.
This other side can be the other’s perspective or the other’s circumstances.
We look not because we are afraid to look at things differently. Or, we allowed ourselves to be so clouded with the situation - groaning ad moaning - to the extent of losing our very selves to fear, doubt, failure and hopelessness.
Regrettably, we miss the opportunity of looking at the other perspective, probably a perspective that is more favourable to us either in the short run or the long run. A perspective that translate into solution.
Always remember this, there is always the other side to whatever you experience.
Whenever we come across a challenge or puzzling situation, look at the other side. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.
Don't pretend as though other option never existed or is never seen.
What people see as obstacles are what some reap as miracles.
What others see as stumbling blocks should be seen by you as building blocks.
The stones thrown at you by others can be your stepping stones when the ground is mudding.
Don't see failure but success.
Don't look at the problems, look at the other side there lies the solution.
I have told people this:
The angels or solutions you seek from heaven, are just beside you here on earth. They are on the other side of the exaggerated problems.
Beauty is all in the way we look at things.
Our lives shall be filled with good people and things, when we change the way we look at situations.
Also, why craving for things that don’t belong to you or that you don’t need? Why crying over that situations? Why complaining?
Do you know that on the other side of that predicaments are greatness, solutions, and suchlike that are meant for you?
All that you may need to do is to change our perspective and look at what you have, differently.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see. For more visit: Look beyond what you see
You hear, but are you listening,
You exist, but are you living,
You look, but are you seeing?
You read, but are you learning?
That’s what matters.
Things don’t change, only the way you look at them. Most things that you consider complex in life are actually simple things.
"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things." - Anonymous
So, train your mind to see the good in everything.
Positivity is a choice.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts,
and the quality of your thought depends on what side of life you look at.
God shall open your eyes to see beyond what you see!
Be blessed!
