"I am determined to be cheerful and happy 
in whatever situation I may find myself.
 For I have learned that the greater part of 
our misery or unhappiness 
is determined not by our circumstance 
but by our disposition."
~ Martha Washington



A Positive Disposition


A little girl walked daily to and from school. 
Though the weather that morning was questionable 
and clouds were forming,she made her daily trip to school.
 As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, 
along with thunder and lightning.


The mother of the little girl felt concerned 
that her daughter would be frightened 
as she walked home from school, 
and she herself feared that the electrical storm
 might harm her child.


Following the roar of thunder, lightning, 
through the sky and full of concern, 
the mother quickly got in her car 
and drove along the route to her child's school.


As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along,
 but at each flash of lightning,
 the child would stop, look up and smile. 
Another and another were to follow quickly,
 each with the little girl stopping,
 looking up and smiling.


Finally, the mother called over to her child 
and asked, "What are you doing?"


The child answered, smiling,
 "God just keeps taking pictures of me."

P.S:
As children we know no fear......
our perspective of everything around us,
is joyous.
Fear,doubts,anxiety....are things we pick up....
from well meaning adults......who intend to keep
us safe.
In the process,we move further and further away...
from our authentic selves.
However, what can be learnt...can be un-learnt too.
So why not let go of everything we learnt.......
 that has failed to serve us?????
Let's open ourselves to the world of possibilities :)
Namaste,
Bhagya
