BLESSINGS OF GOD

keep your patience. Be empty-minded for a while. This is what Dr. McEwen has called giving the mind a chance. If you give this chance to your mind, it will soon release a strong energy and this energy will provide you the help required in any untoward situation. Studies show that the mind has enormous potential. And that potential can be tapped by the power of resilience. In a normal situation, this potential remains dormant. When one has any kind of unusual experience, the brain becomes active and starts unfolding its hidden energy. And if it is given a chance, it will certainly recover all the losses. The only condition is that you should not disturb or hinder its natural process by some unnatural activity. Another lesson from this is to remind ourselves of the untold blessings that we enjoy. If this fact were not so often lost sight of, people would never become victims of negative thinking or take to constantly complaining. In their thinking, they would always be positive, and positive thinking is undoubtedly the source of all kinds of good things. There are no less than seventy-eight organs in every human body. All these organs work in perfect coordination. This is why a person is able to perform his innumerable activities so smoothly. If one or more organs were to fail, normal life for human beings would become almost impossible. Moreover, these organs of the human body function involuntarily and unflaggingly. If these organs had to be operated in the way that a machine has to be, man would never be able to do any other work. He would be too busy making all these organs function. This realization makes us conscious of great blessings of the Creator. We realize that our Creator has bestowed us with the capacity to overcome the challenges that are thrown our way. The Creator has equipped us with the necessary means to address our problems. Hence, we should cultivate a feeling of gratitude for the Creator. The realization of being endowed with such great blessings makes a person a positive thinker in the complete sense of the term. In this way he will become a healthy member of society. o Resilience is a law of nature. It means the ability to recover quickly from illness, change, or misfortune.
