THE BLACK DOT

Life has so much to offer, so many opportunities . We just have to reach out and grab it. We have the ability to achieve what ever we put our mind to . It takes some dedication and hard work ,but anything worth while is worth your time and effort.

All we need is a positive attitude towards life . They say life happens for us and not to us . I totally agree with this. We just have to be grateful to what we have and the opportunities life has provided . As we grow old , we start to realize how unappreciative we are of the things happening around us . Things that are provided by nature . We have to start focusing on the positive things in life and radiate some positive energy , some positive vibes for others to embrace . We need to keep an open mind and identify those opportunities and act on it .

A great philosopher once said :
" Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?" - Eminem .

Hello friends , this post is about a motivational story that i have read before that teaches us to to focus on things that matter and to have a positive attitude towards life . Its called "The Black Dot ".

One day a professor entered his classroom and handed out papers to everyone with the text facing down. He asked them to turn over the page and asked them to write about whatever they see on that paper . To everyone's surprise, there was just a black dot in the center of the paper.

The students , way too confused , got started with the inexplicable task . At the end of the class, the professor took back the papers and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students .

All of them , with no exception , defined the black dot in the center of the page . After he was done reading all of the papers the teacher explained , "Today , i just wanted to give you something to think about . No one wrote about the white part of the paper . everyone focused on the black dot . the same thing happens with our life . The black dot represents - the health issues , lack of money , complicated relationship , disappointments . Even though , we insist on focusing only on the black dot , we should not forget the black dot is really small compared to the white part . The white part represents all the things we have in our life, all the new opportunities that comes our way . we shouldn't ignore them . The black dot represents the things that pollute our mind ".

We should try to take our eyes away from the black dots in our lives . Enjoy each one of our blessings . each moment that life gives us and try to live a life filled with love . We have only one life and it wont come back again . so spread the love and stay blessed . Thank you .
