I consider myself a healthy person. I'm in my late forties and I exercise three or four times a week, between tennis and running.
Sometimes, I catch myself complaining about little things...
Last weekend, I was playing in a small tennis tournament, and between matches, the organizers asked for volunteers to be a "ball boy" during a wheelchair tennis match.
I wasn't ready for what I was about to feel. Seeing people much younger than me in a wheelchair was really hard. Watching the men — and a young woman — battling with their wheelchairs to reach the ball as fast as they could, and still managing to hit it over the net... it moved me deeply. I couldn’t hold back a few tears.
In that moment, I realized I have no reason to complain about my life. I should be grateful for it, every single day.
Have you ever experienced a moment like this? something that made you instantly feel more grateful for your life? I’d love to hear your story
"We're very lucky!"
To respond to that title, other way of thinking is: if we realize that we are Life (full of oportunities), so from that point there is beauty and so on...no matter if we have an handicap, if we were sick, if we are small, if we are from the oposite sex, if we have a diferent color, if we are poor....(there are so many example out there of people with this conditions that teach lessons by their behaviour and etc...)
Not easy to realize, to do (especially when we do not have money to eat) but worth it to try...
