My God, can I ask you?
Lately I had a conversation with a sister who had experienced a lot and who is happy with life at the same time and she said to me, "It's not about the big story, the big things. In that respect, everyone is experiencing terrible things. When it comes to it, you have to get lucky from the little things, a cup of coffee, a nice conversation, working in the garden, little things which can be in your life arranged by yourself. "
It struck me, would You like to comment on this?
My son, true words of a woman grown wise by
life.
How can it be otherwise? When a person let his
luck depend on the big things, there is always something, a disease, a loss, a
problem. Which person will pass the dynamic life on earth without harm?
But a cup of coffee can always be arranged, or
refurbishing a corner of your house, or a nice meeting with a dear friend or oh
there are thousands of things within easy reach of man. But one has to give
leeway to these small things and not be overwhelmed by the suffering because of
the big issues. In the here and now, the fully and unconditionally admitting of
the small stuff, trying to choose for the beauty of life, only then happiness
will get a chance, not otherwise.
And then one more thing: you have found a saying
to which I have led you. Because there are days that the suffering and the difficulties
seem too big to put them aside, and then one can only undergo everything. That
"some days" thus is referring to if there is only a chance to resist
in your difficulties, it is to man to grab his opportunity. At least that day, one
has experienced some luck. And a wise man makes from some days every day, but
that's a bigger task.
Your sister is blessed.My blessings to you all
