I believe changes happen. I also choose to believe that changes happen for the better. Changes may take place in us, it may change the people around us, it changes our surroundings. And it is up to us to 1st accept that the change happen for our good even though at 1st glance we would not be able to see it.
This year has been amazingly challenging for me a whole lot. From family issues to financial issues to relationship issues to work issues...and all these changes and obstacle just made me stronger. Praise the Lord for keeping me near to Him when times were not going my way. Thanks for providing me with dear friends who were very supportive. Both emotionally and financially.
Everyone was made different. Some are prettier then the other, some are stronger then the other, some richer then the other but always be happy for what we have. Make music with what you have. If you feel you are poor...you are one poor thing!!! Poor Thing!!!
Don't feel sorry for yourself...instead make full use of what you can do with what you have.
Some famous people made it because they made music with what they have and not complaint about what they dont. Ludwig van Beethoven is one GOOD example.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf .
Christopher Reeve Never has a person with a disability commanded so much media attention in recent history. Christopher Reeve, crippled after a horse-riding injury, wants to be up on his feet & wants to help others stand confident too. His life is now dedicated to harnessing the power of medical research to get up & ride again.
Marla Runyan One of the women representing the Unites States in the 1500 metre track event at the 2000 Olympics was Marla Runyan. The American runner finished seventh in her preliminary heat and rose to sixth in the semi finals to qualify for the finals. During the final race, Marla lost track of the major competitors. She finished in eighth position, 3.20 seconds behind the gold medal winner. In 1996, Marla set several track and field records at the Paralympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Following that success, Marla wanted to compete in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney -- even though she is legally blind. The 31-year-old runner has been diagnosed with Stargardt disease. This is a condition that leaves her with a limited ability to see what is in front of her. In Sydney, Marla became the first legally blind athlete to compete in an Olympics.
Michael Bolton(famous Singer): Deaf in one ear
Einstein failed to talk until the age of four, the result of a language disability. It is also claimed that Einstein could not read until the age of nine. Einstein even failed his first attempt at entrance into college.
They all became famous in their era...so next time we want to complaint and grumble about what we have and what we don't have and why we can't get what we want.
PLEASE THINK AGAIN!!!
Life is short and there are many people who cares and love us.

As Christians, we were taught, among many other life sustaining principles; that nothing happens to us without His consent and it happened for our own good for He takes good interests in our lives. We were never created to understand His infinite wisdom so don even start trying.
Self pitiness is a vicious cycle; to embark on it and dwelling in it can be fatal, emotionally, spiritually and physically for it will lead to clinical depression. And the sooner we start focusing on what we have and stop taking them for granted, the more worthwhile our lives would be.
When we focus on what we have, what we don have (and what we THOT that would make us happy if we have them) will be insignificant.
Despite my misfortunates, God has never cease to reveal to me that He cares for me & my feelings are important to Him... it's juz whether i choose to humble myself and see it and give thanks to Him once again... for what happened and stop asking why...
