Why Me???

OFTEN WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOOD FOR US....

WE ALWAYS HAVE THE TENDENCY TO BLAME GOD...

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME....AND ME ONLY??

READ....ON......

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player who won three Grand Slam titles, putting him among the best ever, was dying of AIDS. What had happened was in 1979, Ashe had suffered a heart attack, an event that surprised the public in view of his high level of fitness as an athlete. Unfortunately it was discovered that he had inherited the heart disease and even his superb fitness could not have saved him from the attack. In 1988, Ashe discovered he had contracted HIV during the blood transfusions he had received during one of his two heart surgeries.

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

The world over :–
5 crore children start playing tennis,
50 lakh learn to play tennis,
5 lakh learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals,

When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me; and today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Being optimistic or pessimistic is a matter of choice and so is admiring the brighter side of life or choosing to wallow in self-pity and grief all the time. Be thankful to GOD for the good things in life!
