______ Greetings to you this Monday morning!!! ______
A mother was driving her son to school one day, when due to a small careless moment they were in an accident. She came out of it with small injuries but the boy died. Among the various emotions of utter grief there was also this feeling that somehow she was responsible for what happened and she didn’t know how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just these words "I know this is an irreplaceable loss, but I want you to know that I love you very much"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whose to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By trying to pin the blame we forget the bigger picture - which is that ultimately most of us give our best to our work or our families and friends and when things go wrong are equally crushed at the result. So instead of playing the blame game, if we are able to look towards the future we would save much heartache and be able to move forward better.
So today, be large hearted - don’t blame anyone for mistakes (including yourself). Stay happy by forgiving and being magnanimous hearted and obviously....
____ make it a great week ahead!!! ____
