THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF PEOPLE

THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF PEOPLE

1.??????Those who seek opportunities

2.??????Those who wait for opportunities

My baby is my inspiration, my lens into a world of possibilities where I make it out of tricky situations without a glitch, do what’s best for me and do what makes me happy.

This article is about how she seeks a chance to do what she enjoys the most! Revaa, my baby girl has this uncontrollable need to put her hands inside one of our house plants, removing the mud from it and throwing it around the house like it’s fairy dust. Does she like the feel of damp mud, the smell of it, or just has this compulsive need to do it, I do not know.

How did this start, you ask? Well, I am a proud and happy home gardener, and I love spending time planting and potting different seeds and plants that I can grow in my tiny balcony, I sometimes allow her to join me and she thoroughly enjoys it! So, she clearly knows that this opportunity will arise every once in a while.

She thoroughly believes in the saying “If something makes you happy, do more of it!” So now, almost everyday, she makes multiple attempts to dart across the living room to that beautiful peace lily of mine and sprinkles her “fairy” dust. And I, being the cleanliness freak that I am, scoop up the dirt at least 5 times a day to tidy up the place. She continues to do it even though she knows that her actions have consequences and I give her a time-out on her high chair; but her objective of feeling that mass of earth and throwing it all around and on herself with her tiny but determined hands is fulfilled.

Just goes to prove that this tiny human simply seeks more opportunities to do what she enjoys, even though she knows that the opportunity to do the same activity will rise soon, the very next day or the weekend! Where do YOU belong?

I belive that the seekers get more opportunities than the ones who wait.? It is possible that those who wait may not see opportunities come their way.? The? waiters and seekers are akin to statics and dynamics. I for one prefer to be a seeker like little Revaa?
