Everything I Needed Poem by annoymous gal

Everything I Needed



I asked for strength …
and God gave me
difficulties to make me strong! !

I asked for wisdom …
and God gave me
problem to solve! !

I asked for prosperity …
and God gave me
brain to work! !


I asked for courage …
and God gave me
obstacles to overcome! !

I asked for love …
and God gave me
troubled people to deal with! !

I asked for favors …
and God gave me
opportunities! !

I received nothing
that I wanted

But
I received
everything
I needed! ! !

We all receiving things we are not wishing of........ to gain and savor the true essence and beauty of the one we are desiring of........two sides of the coin in both edge from the small bitter things we taste bigger sweetness.................10++++++++ great and wonderful poem in vividness yet meaningful.

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower....though it represents such a dream everyone wishes to have fullfilled but somehow our life abandons such pleasant glitches....Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.If we were to go through our lives without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Infact in chinese proverb, the miracle is not to fly in air and walk on the water, it is actually making yourself able to walk or stroll or discover on earth. This is how our life treats us and I believe it has many facets that somehow look terrible at times and we feel that we have been left in darkened lands but actually these are all temporary ripples and they make us stronger as we move on in life. So one must give every oppertunity a chance and leave no room for regrets.....Obstacles are necessary for success and victory comes only after many struggles and defeats.....So the magic and intoxication of life's accomplishments and achievements can be greatly enhanced if we consider ourselves far more than what we are and what we possess. Being pragmatic, experimental and perseverant is the only option we have in life to begin our journey towards these major accomplishments and we should establish a continuum of such attainments and simply go out and happen to things around with our dominant spirit.
