A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing :
Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time.
The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss.
At the end he wrote: Oh God! It was such bad year !!
When the writer’s wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad & lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband’s writing.
When the writer saw this paper, he found his name written on it with following lines :
Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain….
I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace…..
The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his Creator…..
The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability……
At the end she wrote:
This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well !!!
The writer was indeed happy and amazed at such beautiful and encouraging interpretation of the happenings in his life in that year !!!
Everything won't always be great. But optimism helps us see new opportunities, learn from different situations, and keep moving. In life, movement and growth is essential, which optimism helps us achieve.
Once we think how we can make our future ideal, we become more optimistic and positive about our present.
