"Why Is This Happening To Me?" Written by Wayne Monbleau.
One of the best picks by Rengi. When I was going through the roller coaster of emotions, one day Rengi suggested me to read this book. I opted the last chapter to begin my reading and never attempted to read the entire book at one stretch as well , actually not had the mindset for digesting that fully. But still I have been going through the each chapter in a gap of three to five days.
Since I was totally impressed with certain verses in the book, just thought of pen it in my blog. Hereby quoting those words which uplifted my soul and self.
"The very things that held you down are going to carry you up and up and up."
This quote was derived from a Disney film, Dumbo, story of a circus elephant who had been born with unusually enormous ears. Since he was different from other elephants, all other elephants ridiculed him except his loving mother. He was left alone, but a small mouse befriended him and encouraged him to find out his strengths.
The turning point happening in his life, when he find himself and little companion nestled in the branch of a tree in one morning . They both had a very lengthy discussion about that and at the end the very little mouse stared at his perplexed elephant friend and said with whole excitement "Dumbo , you can fly with your ears!!! The very things that held you down are going to carry you up and up and up." Yes... This is what we need in our life also. If you are blessed with a gift, never intend to loose that , for everyone is not born with that Special Gifts. Give a try rather than just ignoring the blessing , the rest is written in destiny.
"Accept your Humanity "
This illustrates what you are and who you are. Instead of hating yourself and agonizing over your every weakness, accept your humanity and realize when you are weak , you are in a perfect place to see Me ( God) shining through you."
I dare to admit that I am not a perfect person. As a normal human being, I do have lots of flaws and negatives in terms of thought and attitude towards life and experiences.
In this chapter author compare the human life to an earthen vessel. If you are perfect, you are an earthen vessel without any cracks or blemishes. Then people can see the light of the treasure only through one way and hides the light of the treasure altogether.. But a cracked, imperfect vessel lets the treasure's light be seen by all.
It is inculcating the fact that sometimes God or the Nature wants to disseminate certain messages to the universe through your imperfections and weaknesses... Awesome!!! It doesn't mean that you have the freedom to do all the nonsense in your life. Never...
FIND OUT THE TREASURE WITHIN YOU, NOT THE CRACK.
To summarize,, even if we all aware about the realities of life, when we face the factual circumstances, any of the philosophies or theories never gonna to reach your brain or mind during the outbreaks of the emotions. And we would be totally masked by the effects of that adversities and at the verge of exploding our feelings. It's quite natural and that's a sort of defense mechanism for continuing our survival in this beautiful earth.
Nothing is gonna to last for ever... That's the most beautiful healing power of God Or the Nature..
Sometimes it may leave a scar in your heart but The most powerful words in this world, LOVE will protect that scar from bleeding again with pain ...
Thank You my Lord for a beautiful life in this Earth..
KARTHIKA...
