A Short Story

She doesn’t know what happened.


She woke up one day; everyone hates her and don’t like her. She can’t do anything for the people to forget the past. She admitted she made a mistake and she tried to catch up on things and move on. They can’t forget James and they can’t seem to forgive her. She’s been asking, “What do I need to do? People have been so nosy about my stories and my life. Why do they care about me?”

Matt has been saying a lot of things about her & yet she still tried to befriend him. “Is it my problem that all the while I thought we were friends and he bluntly said in my face that he never treated me one?” she cries. She can’t understand why Matt can’t deal with her anymore. She doesn’t know exactly how she have hurt or offended him that turned his back on her. And he didn’t even mention anything to her so they can work on it.

All the while she was trying to find the root-cause of her problem and until now that she has realized that she doesn’t have to look that far to fix it. It was just right in front of her.

She has been so tired of trying to please everyone and think and do what's best for them. She was once told that, "the worst thing that a leader would do is to try to please everyone" She knows it’s not right but that's the only way she can at least reach out to them. She’s been crying and her heart is in pain. Asking God what His plans are for her and why the things are happening. This scripture came to her and made her realized a lot of things -

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.2 Cor3:5

- We must experience our weakness to experience God's strength.
She knows He has always been forgiving and understanding; He will not let us fall down.

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
If you were presented with an opportunity to do something great - to really leave a mark on the world and make a difference, would you take it? I think that most people would, I know that I certainly would. 🙌 Perhaps the reason that most people don’t end up doing this is because of the personal price that needs to be paid. One thing I’ve certainly learned for myself is that if I want to be able to influence other people and things around me I first need to be able to influence myself. If I want to create change around me, I need to start with myself. I can’t take my same old self into a bright new future - I’ll only darken it. 💥 The good news is that if I put proper focus on changing myself, on growing and learning and developing my skills - my potential will be unlimited. 💪 **** picture below is my inspiration. It's a dream come true to enter The Asian Institute of Management as a student. This happened in 2018 when I was enrolled by my prior company to an Executive Development...
