"Circumstances bring out     characteristics which have 
not been obvious 
to the superficial observer."

Two Jars


The preacher placed two identical jars 
on the table next to the pulpit. 


"These jars came from the same factory, 
were made of the same materials, 
and can hold the same amount. 
But they are different," he explained.


Then he upset one of the jars 
and it oozed out honey. 
He turned over the other jar, 
and vinegar spilled out.


"When a jar is upset, 
whatever is in it comes out. 
Until the jars were upset, 
they looked alike. 
The difference was within,
 and could not be seen. 
When they were upset, 
their contents were revealed."

P.S:
Inclined as I am to look for
the silver lining in every cloud.....
I choose to believe that it is wonderful 
that trying times reveal aspects of ourselves,
not otherwise seen.When they do come up 
we understand what we need to change or resolve,to improve ourselves and the quality if our lives.Self work is a lifelong project.
Every situation/circumstance has the potential to empower or disempower us; depending on the choices we make.
I choose to learn to perceive every experience
as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Namaste,
Bhagya
