I was in the train recently and saw this little girl, maybe 0.7m with an old person face. On closer examination, I realised that she is actually quite old. I felt sad. She may never know what it is like to be able to reach the handle on the train, to touch the top of the fridge without assistance, to do all these simple tasks and more. Yet, she seemed chatty and happy.
I had a major reflective moment and realised that we truly do complaint a lot and that we do not count the simple blessings in our lives. We tend to take all the small things for granted, not realising that we are indeed very blessed.
We may not have big talents to sing as well as the King’s Singers or to write music as well as Lady Gaga or to design as well as Karl Lagerfeld or to draw as beautifully as Van Gogh or to be as talented as Brad Pitt, etc., but we are blessed with normal height and normal body. It may not be perfect, but it is quite normal. And normal is good! Normal is good!
