We all breathe the same air
Watch the same stars
Walk under the same sun
And get wet from the same rain
Yet, our interpretation of things are not the same
Our level of understanding is always different
It doesn't matter whether we are the same gender
Or have same parents
Even bear the same name.
Our level of understanding can never be the same
We each understand things differently
I was in church the other day
Same pastor
Same word being shared
Same roll but different seat of course
We all sat and listened
But a text distracted me for just a second and I missed the scripture that was spoken out loud
I turned first to my neighbor on my left, she had penned down 1 John chapter 2.
So, to be sure, I turned to my right hand and the gentleman had written 1 John chapter 4.
I was confused
But I went with the lady nevertheless.
After all, we know women to be more spiritual than than men in this part of the world.
So I was sure hers was correct
So I jotted down 1 John, 2
Then the scripture was repeated
It was 1 John, 4
I had judged wrongly
Also, two people, one word, yet each had heard differently
This is how life is.
Sometimes a single mistake can cost you a debt you end up paying for the rest of your life
One word from the wrong friend regarding an information you both heard, and you are set on a course you won't come back from.
One bad advise from a parent because you are obsessed with blessing, and you are finished.
One unsolicited opinion from a partner because you need validation, and you are quitting your business to start a job without a future.
No matter how common the situation is, our processing is always different.
Two men went to study in India.
Same school
Same hostel
Same balcony
One saw people without shoes, poverty.
The other saw people without shoes, opportunity.
One saw lack.
The other, a large market.
The one that saw poverty, read hard and worked harder to get the best result and escape poverty.
The other dropped out of school, worked tirelessly and opened a shoe factory.
Today, the drop out employed the graduate.
Life is what ever you make of it.
How right is your vision
How scalable are your dreams
What are you seeing?
You cannot dream what you cannot see.
To dream it, you must first see it.
What you are seeing
Depends on what you are looking at.
If you can't see far...
Stand up!
To have a great vision
Stand tall
To see far, you must stand tall
But In the end, it depends on how you see what you see.
Ask yourself, how do you see?
Then check what are you looking at
Some people say the sky is the limit.
Others say it is the beginning.
Some see an end
Others see a door.
We all see the same sky
Yet, some see stars
Others become stars.
