Goodness is always responded by the Almighty!! 


Most of the times we think, how my small act of kindness is going to make any difference in this world, which seems to be in an abyss of selfishness. The story shared by my dear friend Amit, only strengthened my faith every act of kindness is responded by the almighty in special ways..

This is a story of three kind hearts: They found this newborn pup near the smoking zone of their company compound. The little one was trying to negotiate the scorching sunlight by hiding in the corner of a wall. When enquired, it was discovered that he was rescued from a pit by a housekeeping person. Separated from his mother, the poor creature had a rare chance of survival. 


The guys fed him with milk and placed him in a safer place to avoid direct sunlight, with a promise to come back in evening. They decided to carry him home and shelter him until he grows a little more and could walk of his own. However, in a rarest of feats; the mother dog arrives the moment these guys make an attempt to pick him up. (She came wandering there for food or may be in search of her lost piece of heart). The little one was elated, suddenly felt a surge in his energy and immediately jumped towards his mother and started cuddling and sucking milk. Probably the only thing he would have longed over all these hours.
Happy ending!! We come across many such situations everyday in our lives but with a little compassion, we can actually change somebody's life. We do our part and what we call as miracle, shall be automatically performed by the LORD!!

Life is a puzzle!!!


Isn't life a puzzle that has to solved at every moment?

Yesterday, I bought a 3D puzzle for my 6-year-old, and it turned out to be a nightmare to resolve. The complete family tried to put the pieces of puzzles together. However, we were unsuccessful till the midnight and had to leave it.

Next morning, our son was not satisfied wanted to solve the puzzle, and the family came over to rescue! In the beginning, it looked impossible to solve, but as the each part joined, it fueled our enthusiasm and determination to complete it.

As we were in this process, a realization dawned on me, had I given up the first day thinking the puzzle to be unsolvable, could I ever have the satisfaction of meeting up this challenge? Don't we face situations in our life? Don't we give up early many times without putting our sincere effort?

The puzzles that our life throws up can be solved provided that we keep the constant effort and have a firm belief that it can be addressed, and the answers unveiled themselves. The puzzle could be a bad personal/professional relationship, a difficult subject or a business challenge!

All we need to do is to hang out there, have a belief the solution is there and keep trying a different solution. As the pieces come together as they always do, we can realize the power of grit and determination.

Intellect is always overrated, but it the ability to hang on when the failure stares at us that defines who we are!! Capacity to say to yourself that "I will find the solution" is what separate the leaders from the followers.
