Something to think about .....

SPEED
By SPEED

Yea something to think about.... before you go to bed :-)

There was a blind girl who 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 will 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 in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for 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 does not have and desires children

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 sin.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

fit to those people who in general complain about things in their daily life ... example if I have got a small house (as per my budget) and the house is old and not tidy I should not complain to God instead I should be Thankful to Him for providing me a shelter as compare to others who does not have any ...

couple days ago I was on the way driving to one of my American Women Assc. friend for coffee morning ... I wasn't in my happy mood but I make commitment with her to come .... and on the way there i heard I song from Natasha bedding field ....and the lyrics goes like this :

can`t figure how

I`m gonna fix tomorrow away

If today`s still a mess

Can u tell me what`s the point man,

It all seems meaningless

I wish that I could step away and breathe

This world`s trying to swallow me

Clear away the clouds inside my head

Someone just tell me

That it`s ok now

What are you worried about

Got my dreams, got my life, got my love

Got my friends got the sunshine above

Why am I making this hard on myself

When there`s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy

I was crying for being happy inside my heart ...and say .... I HAVE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL REASON TO BE HAPPY

Friends

Deep and scary thoughts... but all true.

Gracias Speed for reminding me that life is precious...
