Today's
Gift
Always remember that no
matter what the problem may be, there is an infinity of solutions. --Marion
Weinstein
A girl named Iris was tormented by the boys at
school. Whenever she walked by they would make rude noises. Sometimes, when no
one was looking, they would block her way and not let her go home. She was too
inexperienced at taking care of herself to realize that believing she couldn't
do anything made it true. Feeling helpless kept her from thinking about what she
might do.
One day she got so scared that she told her best
friend what was happening. Together they began to think of all sorts of things
she could do. Knowing she could do something took away the helpless feeling, and
the boys noticed and stopped teasing her. It wasn't fun for them
anymore.
We often feel helpless in situations that seem too
much for us to handle. In fact, help is always available - through friends and
family, and through our Higher Power, who helps us see how we can help ourselves. All we have
to do is stop being distracted by that helpless feeling and ask for what we
need.
Can I see the many solutions to my problems
today?
