Change in Father Thinking

A man used to stay irritated and tensed all the time. He was troubled by the fact that he had to bear all the house expenses and the responsibility of the whole family and one or other relative kept visiting his place.

Thinking about all these things, he used to get upset very often and used to scold his son and quarrel with his wife about different issues.

One day his son came to him and said, "Father, please help me with my homework."

The man scolded his son and chased him away. But later when his anger calmed down. He went to his son's room and saw that his son was asleep, holding a copy of his homework in his hands.

Man took the copy and looked at it, as soon as he was about to put it back. He read the title of the homework.

It was :- Things that we didn't like at first but later realized that they are good!!

The child had to write a paragraph on this title. Out of curiosity, the man started reading what his kid had written :

I am thankful for my final exams because they don't look good in the beginning but after that, there are school holidays.

I am thankful for medicines that they taste bad, but they taste bitter at first then they cure my illness.

I am thankful for the alarm clock that irritates me but wakes me up every morning and lets me know that I am alive.

I am also very thankful to god who gave me such a good father because his scolding make me feel bad at first but then he brings me toys, feeds me tasty food, and takes me for walks.

After reading his son's homework, the words written by his child were revolving in his mind again and again. The man realized something.

He sat down for a while and started thinking about his troubles.

I have to bear all the expenses of the house which means I have a house and by the grace of god, I am in a better position than those who don't even have a house.

I have to bear the responsibility of the whole family means I have a family, wife, and children and by the grace of god, I am more fortunate than those who don't have a family and are alone in this world.

My friends and relatives keep coming, it means that I have a social status and people to support me in my happiness and sorrow.

God! Thank you so much for everything. I am so sorry, I didn't recognize your kindness.

Thinking of this, all his troubles, all his worries disappeared. His thinking was changed.

He ran to his son's room and kissed his forehead and started thanking his son and god.

Learning:- Whatever troubles are in front of us, as long as we keep looking at them from a negative point of view, we will always stay troubled and irritated. But as soon as we look at the same situation from a positive point of view, our perspective, and our thinking will change our way of living our life completely.

Moral:- Sometimes, a change in perspective can turn our troubles into blessings, when we view our difficulties with a positive outlook, our entire way of living can be transformed, allowing us to appreciate the goodness in our lives. Gratitude can transform our way of thinking and lead to a more positive and contented life.

"Positive thinking has the power to heal every affliction"
