Beyond expectation

Good things happen when you do not expect. They tend not to be grandiose gestures. Yet, the impression they leave is beyond expectation.

All your troubles will not just go away. But something can happen to make your burdens lighter. And then, they will be so much easier to carry.

A little kindness can go a long way. It can clear the obstacles from your path. And what remains is just to pick a direction and then get moving.

Having one's desires fulfilled tends to make one lazy. But be assured, nothing in life is free. There is a high price to be paid for such convenience.

Only that which is earned is deserved. Everything else comes down to someone's agenda. Understand that your best interests are not their concern.

We must fight to prove ourselves worthy of better. Otherwise, we will languish in weary contentment. Feasting on the crumbs is no way to thrive.

  1. To survive, one must be able to adapt. Shaking our fists at the establishment will only raise our blood pressure. To earn a better outcome you must work for it.

  2. When good things happen it is a direct result of people becoming inspired, our actions can uplift or destroy an act of kindness can make all the difference. We have the power to shape our reality, we can chose to languish or become an inspiration.

    1. It takes action to make things better. Even the smallest things can make a big difference. Without them, the world would have perished a long time ago.

  3. Yeah, crumbs are not only meager but insulting. Eating out of a hand is no better. I guess "we don't deserve dogs" because we stole their lifestyle. Cultural appropriation is a sin nowadays, you know.

    1. It is easier to wait for crumbs than to earn one's own food. But it neither fills nor fulfills. And there is always a price to be paid.
