ecoTrain QOTW #9: Shifting Our Perspective ... Spare A Thought For....

in ecoTrain5 years ago (edited)

There are times when we may feel sorry for ourselves, or are finding life too difficult with many challenges. When I feel like that I sometimes watch a film or documentary about people who are way more unfortunate than myself. When i watch these films I am reminded of what terrible suffering and struggles so many people have to endure. Struggles like living in desert dry conditions with failed crops and no way to feed your family, struggles like having no home or income, struggles like bring deathly ill or in constant pain. To those who struggle, who really struggle, my heart goes out to you.

Is how we see our lives, rather than the actual details and stories we create more important? How we feel about our lives is what creates our reality, and whether we perceive ourselves as fortunate or unfortunate. Sometimes we can flick a switch just by remembering how fortunate we really are, and thinking and acknowledging others who really suffer is a very special and powerful way to do that. Would you like to flick the switch and change your world today? Then join us for this QOTW!

This week the ecoTrain invites you to share about a person or group of people that you know about who really suffer. Who would you like to spare a thought for? Who would like you honour and share about because they may not only suffer, but manage to hold on and keep going. Maybe you have a story of someone who suffered and has made it through to the other side. These stories can of course be about a friend or loved one, but for this QOTW it should not be about yourself. We welcome all stories, and I look forward to reading them and re-framing my world as I do so ;-)
