Whatever you are, be a good one.
"Whatever you are, be a good one", quotes Abraham Lincoln.
A friend emailed raving about how things aren't working at all or the way she had envisioned. She feels that she's come up to this huge blank wall - facing problems about jobs, relationships and all other odd things life throws our each day. She thinks the magic word is somewhere out there and yet so well hidden - and if she finds it everything will be alright. But will it? If it were to be that way then I, my parents and other generations before them would have surely found that 'magic' and enjoyed utopia in their lives, then and even now.
No, it's not out there. We are such shortsighted people with minds 'out there'. It's always that the grass is on the other side of the fence, the big break, chance, opportunity is 'out there' with some other guy. It works that way for some. They go 'out there' to achieve their goals and come home with the prize. But to many it doesn't happen that way and hence the self-bashing because they don't get whatever-it-is.
We often undervalue what we have - what we are - who we are. Why? Why is it so hard to appreciate ourselves? Why do we think so low of ourselves and highly of others whose talents are similar with ours (or better)? Do the talents we have look better wearing their face than ours?
Say do you really know yourself? Do you know your strengths and your weaknesses? How do you perform under stress or in failures? Do you push yourself under the fire when there is no one pushing you? How do you work on your skills to grab that big fat break you're hoping for and which will surely come one day?
You answers to the above will show what you truly are. Whatever you are - a student working towards better grades, a clerk working on piles of paper work, a sweeper or other things you find yourself doing - BE GOOD IN IT. Always be good in what you are doing, at the top rank or at the bottom. Be the best of what you are and what you can be.
It's simple. A good attitude or character will always open up new opportunities and doors - the same that would be closed for people with small minds and twisted character. It's always the good job done by a good person that leaves an impression and finishes the race and wins the prize. So be that good guy, whoever you are and whatever you are. The good always wins where it matters most, always. So open your eyes to all the good people around you and see what works for them.
The magic is not 'out there' - It's in YOU. Believe in yourself and in your potentials. They are God-gifted and for a definite purpose. Just harness it. And you'll surely get there, one day!

A friend once told me "A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a spark that creates extraordinary results."
Our life is not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
Keshi
Everything whether it is right or wrong stems from the kind of attitude that a person has.
Thanks for this lovely visit, Keshi. This is a pleasure and delight for me every time.

Funny people that we are, you know. We often fail to see the good things before us and too within ourselves. But God doesn't make junk, so then we got it all already in us to survive overcome win. But we always forget that, don't we? I do. :-)
