A man and his girl friend were married. It was a large gathering. all
of their friends and family came to witness the lovely ceremony and
partake of the festivities and celebration. Everyone could tell that
the love they had for each other. A few month later, the
wife came to the
husband with a proposal:"I
read in the magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our
marriage," she said. "Each of us will write a
list of things that we
find a bit annoying with the other
person. Then, we can talk about how
we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The
husband agreed. So they retreated to two separate rooms and started
making out their respective lists. And this absorbing task took them
the rest of the day to accomplish.The next morning, at the
breakfast table, they decided they would share each other''s listed
annoyance. " I''ll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It
had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. As she started
reading her list, she notice that tears were starting to appear in her
husband''s eyes." What''s wrong?" she asked."Nothing," the husband replied. "Please continue reading"The
wife continue until she had read all three pages. Then she placed her
list neatly on the table and folded her hands on top of it. "Now, you
read your list and then we''ll talk about the things on both of our
lists," she said with eager anticipation.Quietly the husband
said, " i
don''t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect
the way you are. I don''t want you to change anything for me. You are
lovely and wonderful and I wouldn''t want to
try changing anything about
you."The wife touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her hear and wept.Soooooo:In
life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and
annoyed. We don''t really have to go looking for them. We have wonderful
world that is full of beauty, light, and promise. Why waste time in
this world looking for the bad, disappointing, or annoying when we can
look around us and begin to notice wondrous things, perhaps even right
under our very noses. I believe that we are happiest when we see and
praise the
good and try our best to forget the bad.Be a
positive person. Seeking out the best instead of the worst, we could
try to work on the bad until good comes out of it. We don''t just ignore
them, deny they exist or simply forget them, and instead face them head
on, learning lessons in the process and then turning the bad into good."Be a positive person. There''s nothing you can gain by dwelling on the negative."
