A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.
He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map……When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh…. Dad, there is a man’s face on the other side of the paper….. I made the face perfect to get the map right.” She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
There is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world. Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side…. You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem.
A few musings…
The difference between just looking and seeing is so much in the depth and dimension of expansions in our flow of thoughts .An expansion in our acceptability and flexibility changes the seemingly complex situations to simple solutions .:)
“Life is complicated and not contained to a few ideologies or beliefs, therefore in order to better understand the universe, and me, I need to leave safe harbor and explore all of the universe, not just parts of it..…” (Larry “Dutch” Woller) 🙂
A beautiful story told here Savvy and the message it carries is so apt yet easily ignored in day-to-day life. As you mentioned, ‘acceptability and flexibility changes the seemingly complex situations to simple solutions’ – completely agree to this.
I am WAY behind in my reading on the blogs I follow, but I have to say yours is one of my favorites. You always come up with the most beautiful statements and stories about life and spirituality, and they are always uplifting to my soul at just the right times. Thank you forever for the wonderful writing.
Truly beautiful a feeling to share these reflections but truly humbling and yet creatively inspiring to know that someone out there finds meaning and relevance in these musings . Thank you dear Anne for your ever encouraging words.
