Everyone of us goes through times when life seems extremely difficult. We are left alone, we can;t pay bills, we have lost our jobs, we have lost a loved one. At These times we wonder how we will possibly make it through the next week. Somehow we usually do!
It is possible to lose our perspective & to paint the picture gloomier than it really it. We look forward a future which seems to be minefield of problems & wonder how any human being could copy with what we face.
A person embarking on a day's march would be foolish enough to carry enough provisions for a lifetime. Is it not strange , then, that many people carry around all their worries for the next twenty years & wonder why life is difficult? We were designed to live twenty four hours at a time. No more. It is pointless worrying about tomorrow's problems today.
Next time you find yourself despairing, ask yourself these questions.
Have i got enough air to breathe? Have i enough food for today?
( If the answer is yes, things are already looking up! )
We often overlook the fact that our important needs are being met. I like the story of the man who phoned Dr. MAX.
The conversation went this way.
The man said, " It's over. I'm finished. All my money has gone. I've lost everything."
Dr. Max asked," Can you still see?"
The man replied," Yes, I can still see."
Max asked, " Can you still walk?"
The man said," Yes, I can still walk."
Max said, " Obviously you can still ear or you wouldn't have phoned me."
" Yes, I can still hear."
" Well," Max said," I figure you have got about everything left. All you have lost is your money!"
