Miser society




This is Mehreen Syed , A fashion model and CEO/Chairperson International Fashion Academy Pakistan/ICARE.  And after she slipped on the ramp she posted this video and said,

  ''keeping that in mind, I want to share this moment when I slipped and how wonderful it was for me to see and feel the level of support, love and encouragement given to me by the audience. It was so touching and heartwarming for me. ''

We all slip, but not everyone of us gets this type of support and encouragements Mehreen Syed received after she slipped. That is may be because you have to be at the same level of achievements like her. But the challenge is to get up even when you don't get that kind of support that we don't usually receive even when we are struggling towards our goals.

Sometimes it is even worse. We get negative remarks, people make fun of us. Sometimes we are so discouraged that we quit and instead we start a fight and loose our energies to move on. Specially when we fall or slip its really hard to get back up and move on.

You might say, ' That's the Challenge' . Yes it is but for a moment can we look into that single positive example of what Mehreen shared. Can we really start caring? Can we stop being toxic? Can we just once stop being miser in encouragement, support and appreciation?

Can we stop looking for only those bad, negative and wrong things and turn towards the goodness the beauty still there around us?

One of our great scholars Ashfaq Ahmed Sahib said that when he was a student he learnt about the house fly eye that its each eye contains 4000 lenses that enable visualization of different pictures at the same time. He was so excited to learn that and he went to his old uncle, elder brother of his father, living in his native village. He knew that a simple illiterate guy like his uncle would be amazed to know about that fact. But when his uncle heard that fact about the house fly he said' shame on that creature with so many lenses in its eyes. Because it still finds only the dirty and filthy places to sit.

Why do we prefer being a house fly? Why don't we think about those wonderful honeybees who always prefer sitting on beautiful flowers and then making honey for us?

When will we start saying no to all these haters? Toxic and negative thoughts imposers that are payed to make us an in secure frustrated negative thinking society to become good customers?

Because when you are in secure, you are a good buyer. You are always afraid that the supplies would end in the market and you keep filling your houses with those supplies and you keep buying things. You are always afraid to take risks, face your fears and lead. You become slaves, workers not the creative leaders that build the society and prefer being their own bosses. Please just once think out the of box   and try to get some vision, not just the sight.
