Fwd: A POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE... [2 Attachments]
Subject: A POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE... [2 Attachments] To:
A famous writer was in his study, and began writing:
1. Last year, my gallbladder was removed. I was in bed for a long time.
2. The same year I reached the age of 60 and had to leave my favorite job. I spent 30 years with this publishing company.
3. The same year my father died.
4. The same year my son failed his medical exam because he had a car accident. He was hospitalized with a cast on his leg for several days. The destruction of the car was a second loss."
His concluding statement: "Alas! It was a bad year!!”
When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking dejected and sad. She read what he had written, left the room, and came back with another piece of paper.
Her husband read her version of his account of the year's events:
1. Last year I finally got rid of my gallbladder which had given me many years of pain.
2. I turned 60 with sound health and retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write with more focus and peace.
3. The same year my father died at the age of 95 without depending on anyone, without any critical conditions, and met his Creator.
4. The same year, God blessed my son with life. My car was destroyed, but my son was alive and without permanent disability."
"This year was an immense blessing."
MORAL:
It's not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING: And attitude is the one thing that we can control.
