"What seems to us bitter trials 
are often blessings in disguise."
~Seneca 

Blessings Usually Come In Disguise


The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. 


He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.


Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.


But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky.


The worst had happened; everything was lost.
He was stung with grief and anger.


"God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.


Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.


"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.


"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.


Never forget blessings do come in disguise!!

P.S:
What if we could learn to look at challenges differently ??????
What if we could allow ourselves
to look for the blessings within them?    
As Dr. Wayne Dyer often says,
"When we change the way we look at things....the things we look at change."
Namaste,
Bhagya
