I was going through my Motivational page that I belong to on Telegram app, I came across something that changed the way I looked at quarantine and the whole Coronavirus situation. I thought it wise to share it with you this week.
In most cases, we spend a lot of time complaining about how bad the situation is and we forget to be thankful for the blessings in our lives. I challenge you to take a minute after reading this story
If you are feeling stressed in this lockdown situation, then read this
Be patient
A movie theater announced that an 8-minute movie won the title of Best Short Film in the World.
So, it was decided to display this movie in the cinema for free, so that the largest crowd could gather to watch it.
The movie began with a snapshot of a room ceiling that is devoid of any decoration and of any details; Just a white ceiling.
3 minutes passed without the camera moving and it did not move to any other scene, or any other part of the ceiling in the same room.
Another 3 minutes passed without the camera moving and without changing the scene.
After 6 boring minutes, the viewers started grumbling; Some of them were about to leave the theater hall; And some of them objected to the officials of the house because they wasted their time watching a ceiling.
Suddenly, before the majority became concerned and starting to leave, the camera lens slowly moved on a wall without any details as well until it reached down towards the floor, there a child appeared on a bed, who seems to be totally handicapped due to the spinal cord tare in his little body …
The camera slowly moved to the side of the handicap bed, showing a wheelchair without a back.
The camera moved to the boredom location of the ceiling again; To show a sentence: “We showed you only 8 minutes of this child’s daily activity, only 8 minutes from the scene that this handicapped child watches at all hours of his life, and you complained and weren’t patient for only six minutes, you couldn’t bear to watch it ..!
Debrief
So know the value of every second of your life that you spend in wellness, and say thanks for every blessing bestowed on you.
We suffer from quarantine and the curfew, which is for a limited time, and we do not know that there are millions who lived their entire lives in quarantine
Covid-19 has forced us to have the time to think about many privileges , and we thank God for the blessing of the freedom of movement and out of the house to see life, breathe the air, and practice activity in its various colors.
I hope this story blesses you like it did to me. Reflect on what God has given you before grambling for what you miss in this quarantine. There is alot to thank God for.
