Gratitude Can Change Destiny
15
Jan
Develop
an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you,
knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and
better than your current situation.
This
little story describes that one can change their destiny just by giving thanks
from your heart for everything you have.
There
was a small bird living in a desert. With no sign of greenery the bird uses to
hop around on the hot sand through the day. An angel while on his way to god
saw the little bird and felt pity. He went and asked “O little bird! What are
you doing in this hot desert? Can I do something for you?” The little bird
said, “I am very pleased with my life, but this heat is unbearable. Both my
feet are getting burnt. Only if there was a tree here, I’d be delighted”. Angel
said, “Growing a tree in the middle of desert is beyond my scope. I am to going
meet god, let me speak to him and ask if he could fulfill your desire”. Angel
asked God, if he could help the bird. God said, “I could grow a tree, but her
destiny doesn’t allow it. And I can’t change that. However, you can give her my
message, which will help her survive the heat. Ask her to hop with one foot at
a time. That ways she can rest the other one for a while and change foot often.
This way only one of her foot will have to bear the heat and other one will be
able to rest and recover. Also tell her to remember all the good things that
have happened in her life and be thankful to god for that. Angel came back to
where the bird was and gave her this message from God. The bird was delighted
by the idea and thanked him for the effort he made to make her comfortable.
After a few days, Angel was crossing the same desert and thought of checking on
the little bird. He saw the bird sitting on big green tree, right in the middle
of the desert. Angel was happy to see the bird in comfort but was very
disappointed with God who suggested that there was no tree in this bird’s
destiny. He went to meet God and told him the whole story. God replied, “I
never lied to you. There was no tree in the bird’s destiny. However, after you
gave her my message, which asked her to be grateful to God for the kind things,
she did put those words to action. She remembered every possible thing from her
life and thanked God with a pure heart. I was moved with her feeling of
gratitude and that’s what made me change her destiny”. Angel was pleased with
the answer. A small gratitude can bring so much in our lives.
The
world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene
lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has
plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the
world needs more is to appreciate and enjoy it. Gratitude is a currency that we
can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. If there is
Gratitude in your Heart, then there will be tremendous sweetness in your eyes.
