CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION-FOR CHANGING YOUR ATTITUDE: A STORY…

A woman was dissatisfied with her fate; 

she was poorer than all the others. The bread was never sufficient for her seven children. Her husband had died young. One night, after desperate prayer, an angel appeared to her, gave her a sack, and ordered her to throw all her cares and needs into it. The sack was hardly big enough to hold so many worries, cares, and anxieties.


However, the angel took her by the hand and led her to heaven. Groaning and complaining, she carried the sack. When she arrived, the woman was amazed. She had imagined heaven differently. The clouds were all sacks of cares. And on the biggest of the sacks sat a most venerable old gentleman, who was known to her from pictures in her childhood. 

The all-knowing one knew about her cares too- after all, he had heard her prayers and her curses every day. He bade her set the sack down, and said that she might open all the other sacks and look into them. She would, however, have to choose one of them, and take it back into her earthly life. She opened one sack after another and found chagrin, problems, pressing conflicts, boredom, and other similar things. Many of these were strange to her, others familiar; and with still others she was uncertain whether she had already seen them before or not. She worked her way energetically through the clouds, until she finally came to the last sack. She opened it, spread its contents about, arranged it, and recognized it was her own. When she lifted the sack, it seemed much lighter to her; what’s more, her cares no longer plagued her, and her pains no longer pained her. Instead of them, she saw real grievances and worthwhile goals. (Courtesy: Oriental story, compiled by Nossrat Peseschkian)

The issue is our #perception; what we experience within ourselves and in our relationship with others and environment. When we are able to perceive it from different perspective, we can enjoy and feel good about ourselves or others and towards the environment.
We simply call it as Half-Bottle full phenomena.
Just pick up your one of the negative attitude (if you are aware of it!) and keep all the excuses aside and see it as a challenge and change it the way poor woman changed her #attitude.
