Surprise test


We are very quick to brand life as unfair when things don't go our way. As if life were a person giving us a hard time! Sounds funny, right? But we do this all the time. And then people get linked to the unfairness of life.
When something good happens, we take it as entitlement and forget it so quickly. We always feel we deserve the best of everything and not a moment of the opposite.
But who said so? Who developed a foolproof package to be delivered to the "deserving?" No answer! Whatever good that comes our way as freebies or good luck is a bonus for the hard work we may have put in. Nothing is a coincidence.
But what we call “adverse" is also what we deserve at that moment. Surprise tests! As we had in school, we always had to be prepared.
Hmmm. Time to draw parallels in our lives!

Altitude

Who really can say they got everything in life? Only those who actually were grateful for everything they received with an attitude that it was a bonus. A grace. Then there weren't any compulsive desires as such.

We humans tend to get greedy...we forget that whatever we deserve we do get. No one takes that away and it does not get deflected either. But we evidently look for other, "greener" pastures. More and more and more....better and better and better.....

If a car, for example, is a comfort so we don't have to walk or take a public transport, does it matter what brand the car is or that at least there IS a car ? Hmm ... the difference in satiation levels !!

The difference in being a human being and being human...

Attitude definitely determines altitude. Depends on what KIND of altitude one is looking for!!
