GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #202

God made all of us unique and different….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #201‘.

Good Morning Friends,

Imagine if God made all of us alike,
And gave each of us similar thoughts;
Do you know what the world’d feel like,
With people moving around as robots?

Then why do we envy another’s situation,
Knowing his pluses and minuses are unique;
His having more is no cause for frustration,
His having less is also totally his streak.

Similar is the case with our own fate,
We too have unique positives and negatives;
Let’s be satisfied with what’s on our own plate,
Rather than envy those of friends and relatives.

We may not be responsible for our situation,
We are always responsible for our reaction to it;
Our destiny may not be our own creation,
But how we respond, I believe, hasn’t been writ.

Don’t compare but make your response better,
And see what is that unique plus God gave you;
Rather than copying you can be a trendsetter,
Standing at the very head of your own queue.

….when He gave us less of something, He also gave us more of something else.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
