Be the first to extend the hands of friendship,
To speak the words of sorry,
To admit your mistakes,
To walk with ease among your adversaries.
Be thankful to All Mighty who promoted this attitude in you.
If you are a doormat,
Divine has walked upon it to come to you.
If a sword is given in your hands,
Think of it as the sword given by Ma Durga.
Credit belongs to Her.
Be thankful to all of it.

I love the image of the doormat laid for the divine foot. To be grateful for one's own attitude shows a fundamental awe towards unknown sources of all things.
Thank you so much Denis Mair for reading and commenting. Yes the doormat image at once brings the emotions of humiliation and servitude. To reconcile and bring it under positive light is the hardest thing. I am glad you liked it. Wish you a very happy holidays.
