It was Tuesday evening and that week had been a busy one for me: seeing clients in the morning and afternoon. As I was locking the door of my clinic I thought "Tomorrow is another day ... another new beginning ... endless opportunities ..."
As I got back home that day, I decided
to harvest my potatoes as they have been there since June, and I wasn’t quite
sure whether or not there were many or just a few of them. So I decided to find out, as it would also help me to take my mind off work (not always).
Well, as soon as I started
digging, I was able to find a few ones, just lying close to the top of the soil.
Then I thought “Great, I will be able to find a lot more deep down”. So I
continued digging in, hoping to find more, but then I was disappointed as I
couldn’t find anything...
But then I started digging
in on another plot: nothing to start with, but then, as I was nearly getting to
the bottom of my planter, surprisingly, I was able to find loads more: big ones
and small ones!
Isn’t life similar to
this? Sometimes we are scared of trying new things, jobs and friendship. But
as you get out of our 'comfort zone' and start exploring new situations, we may come across positive experiences as
well as negative ones or, may not find negative ones at all!! But we won’t
know until we start digging...
Ok, so you may say that all depends
on the weather... clouds may appear in the sky, but it
does not mean the sun ceased to exist. Soon, it returns with its warmth and power.
It is the same with our inner strength, isn’t it? It never ends because we suffer a
fall or make a mistake: our inner
light is still alive! There will
always be a chance to start over!
Hope lies before us, just waiting for us to open the window of our soul to contemplate
it.
You may choose to leave behind the fears, frustrations, guilt, hate and so many dark
feelings and instead, dress up with
the vibrant colours of faith, courage
and above all, hope!
Oh yes, nearly forgot. We may
stumble upon a few dandelions and other weeds here and there too, don’t we?
Sometimes, we just prefer to ignore them, other times we simply remove their
top, believing they have gone. But surprisingly, they are still there, just
waiting to come up twice as big and strong, damaging our so beloved crop...
Another day ... Another week... Another new beginning ...
Endless opportunities ...
Have a nice week!
