We are born into this world, each with a mission. Regardless of our strengths or weaknesses, we have a mission to fulfill. There is certainly an ability that I possess. All living beings are subjected to cause and effect. Each has its unique character and mission.
There was a child who had encephalitis and the result was brain damage. He couldn’t walk; only his hands could move. His 5 sensory organs were severely damaged. His whole family lived in suffering, especially his mother. She resigned from her job to take care of him. One day she brought him to an art exhibition. Both of them were most excited upon seeing the paintings. The boy said he would like to paint. His mom replied happily, “So would I.”
They were most inspired by the abstract paintings they saw. They started to paint. Inspired by the artist, the boy created pictures that surprised everyone. Many artists were awed by his outstanding ability in using colors. It wasn’t easy even for a professional artist. What he drew weren’t standard or traditional drawings. They were inspirational creative pieces. They were beautiful. To encourage him, people were willing to pay a high price for his paintings. He could finish several pieces a day and earned more money than a graduate.
Studying with me, you must never give up on yourself. Fill yourself with confidence. Everyone has a mission in their life. We are constantly seeking our life mission in the process of growing up. It is very much like finding a job that suits us. For some children with special needs, their exceptional potential unfolds once their ability is used well.
There was a kid who had an extremely keen sense of smell. Initially, he would smell his mom’s bottles of perfume. He would guess the different types of perfume based on smelling them. Then, he would correctly guess the brands of perfume. Many people were surprised at his ability. When he grew up, he was hired by a perfumery for his special talent. It is an exceptional skill which the perfumery needed. Through his sense of smell, he could tell the ingredients used or needed.
It is easier to find a job if you have a special skill. People with special talents definitely have a life mission to fulfill. There must be a job you like and are adept at. So don’t give up on yourself; have self-confidence.
Boldly, I wrote the “Golden Words” to give you confidence. Here is the content. Facing a mirror, say: “I am most happy.” Or, bathe in the morning sun, breathe in fresh air and say loudly: I am most happy. I am most wise. I am most intelligent. I am most creative. I am most fortunate. Even if your singing is worse than a raven’s, say: “I am the best singer.” Actually, you are luckier than one who is speech-impaired.
You can try it. The kids who are meeting me for the first time, try to shout these sentences with me. Follow me if you don’t know what to say. I am most intelligent. I am most healthy. I am most handsome. I am most wise. I am most creative. Do you feel better now? Your feeling becomes different immediately.
When you wake up in the morning, with your eyes closed, think: “I am most intelligent” or “I am most beautiful”. For girls: You could think you are the most beautiful. Girls who smile often are most beautiful. This is a way to encourage ourselves. Before class, children can think they are most intelligent and wise. Some are easily distracted when doing things. Don’t worry. Say: “I am the most focused”. Assume you are, even if you have no idea about fortitude. Your ability to focus will get better over time. When you need to lead a group, you may worry that you lack experience. Say: “I am the strongest leader”, “I am the best leader”.
After adopting this mindset, you will acquire the ability. It may have come from Buddha, Heaven or your ancestry. Thus, what we put in our mind is very important. I am very impressed with what Buddha said: “The Universe in One Flower, Bodhi With One Thought.”
Hope everyone has a happy and compassionate right view, happy and kind mindfulness. Create your best new day, new year and a bright future. Hope your children, family and friends are happy and healthy.
Everyone has their value. Reminding yourself with positive words can overcome all difficulties and create a bright future.
