In life there are lots of positives , but we tend to always look at the negatives. We may be good in a particular thing but we ourselves don't look at it. We only look at what we are not good at. Today's post in somehow similar to it. We have so many blessings in life , but we tend to overlook them . We always complain , we always want more but we never did appreciate all the small things that we have in life. Even me ! It's time to change , and by reading the end of this post hope we all can change for the better .
This is about a person who would you've heard before . It's ABOUT NICK VUJICIC: Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together: no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?
This is a man who has no legs , no arms. Imagine being in this scenario , we would have two choices . One is to keep complaining , blaming everyone you can and doing nothing in life. Second , you wish not to complain and even in that situatuion you are thankful that you're alive and thinking as long as you exist there's a way out. Life was a struggle for him as you might expect. Brushing , eating , writing , studying and many more. Even for us for are perfectly structured with two arms , two legs we feel tired and many more. But imagine being Nick. How tough life can be. He was bullied throughout his school life and many more. Currently he is a inspirational speaker. To know more about him you can log onto http://www.attitudeisaltitude.com/aboutus-nick.php .
Nick is an inspirational speaker and says, "Motivation gets you through the day, but inspiration lasts a lifetime.""
If it was us how will it manage it ? Will we be complaining? Life is all about choices , we should make the right decision.
Now pause and ponder , how many of us are thankful for having 2arms and 2legs, being able to walk , run and many more. We should be appreciative of this.
Next we are gonna look at a more closer person , closer to our age. She is also a teen like us and has a great story to share. But this story isnt is much famous as that of Nick Vujicic. However, its still inspiring and let us look at the story.
Meet Samantha Garvey 17-year-old high school student
and her family have experienced the ultimate roller coaster of fortune; starting with eviction from their Long Island home on Jan. 1. After a week in a hotel, they moved into a homeless shelter in Bay Shore. Unbeknownst to Garvey, an aspiring marine biologist, she had been selected as a semifinalist in the national Intel science competition, an honor that could end up earning her a $100,000 grand prize.
News of her situation quickly spread — and so too did the donations. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone was moved to do something for the Garveys and quickly made a three-bedroom, rent-subsidized home available to the family. Bellone called her story "an inspiration to millions of families in our country."
Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) agreed — and has extended an invitation for Garvey to attend next month's State of the Union. “I want her to be an example of perseverance in the face of adversity,” he told the New York Daily News.
And then there's Ellen DeGeneres.
The comedian invited Garvey onto her show for an episode airing today, surprising her with a $50,000 college scholarship from AT&T.
"I know you want to continue your education," said Ellen. "You want to go to either Yale or Brown University. Well, we wanted to help you with that. So our friends at AT&T heard about your story and because of their commitment to the 'Aspire' program to education, they want to help you achieve your dreams. So they are going to give you a $50,000 scholarship to go to the school of your choice."
According to Newsdays' TV Zone, Samantha and her family also received a a $1,000 gift card to Whole Foods and $5,000 to JC Penney.
We all have the privilege of going to school each day , vut we tend to overlook the small thing and take that for granted. We complain that there is too much homework , too much test , too tiring and many more. We have to work hard for what we want. This girl was homeless and she knew that she had to be the one to step up and take initative to take charge and lead the family. The only way out is education. Education is the only way to end poverty.
So looking at these two different stories , out without proper structured body and another one is a girl without a home. Neither of them complained , they appreciated what they had , and now live successful life.
So take charge , its your life , your battle. Step up and fight for what you want , Never give up & finally Stop Complaining and Start appreciating .
ChEERs !! :)
