When life just seems to be filled with obstacles..
The other day,i was listening to 93.3fm when i heard this story over the air. It goes like this..
One day,there was this couple with a young son and they were out searching for a place to rent. Then,they came upon this house and after viewing it,the wife really loved it. They were about to settle for a payment when the actual owner of the house commented that he does not rent the house to those with small children. When the wife heard about it,she was very disappointed as she really loved the house alot. No matter how much she tried to persuade the house owner,he refused to change his mind about the terms and conditions. As such,the couple and their son could only leave in disappointment.As they were leaving, the couple's son suddenly turned around and headed back to the house which they had earlier viewed. He then asked the owner if he was willing to rent the house. The owner replied that he was willing to but once again only to those without small children. The young boy then commented that if the house owner were to rent the house to the young boy himself,then there would not be a dispute regarding having small children as the young boy did not have any small children with him. He only had 2 adult parents. The house owner thought for a moment and realised that the small boy was right. He had only stated that he would not rent the house to those with small children but had made no mention about not renting the house to small children at all.So in the end,the couple and their young son managed to rent the house with all the credit going to the ability of their son being able to see things in another perspective.
Now back to what i want to say...Ignore the part where the story seems unbelievable. What the story is trying to say is that sometimes,when we encounter problems in life that seems so impossible to solve,there is no harm in taking a step back for a moment and to see things in a different angle. We can never find the solutions to a problem if we keep seeing it in the same way. Similarly,if we were to always consider problems as bad,life will seem to suck no matter what. On the other hand,if we were to view our problems differently and believe that something positive can come out of it. Who knows,it may just happen! Even if it doesn't,i am sure that just trying alone can make us feel better. At least it took our minds off sulking about it and feeling so stressed out which i heard is bad for health,haha!
