That's an eye of a fly.

When things get vague and do not make sense, maybe, you're looking at it too closely. If that's the case, perhaps, the best thing to do is to change perspective. 

What does Changing Perspective mean?

Let me illustrate it with the movie Soul Surfer, which is based on a true story [the same movie where I got the intro of this blog post :))]

Bethany Hamilton, an avid fan of the waves and surfing, lost her arm when a shark attacked her while training for the Regional Surfing competition. She fears she lost everything cos she thought she wont be surfing anymore. Until, finally, she went on a trip to Phuket, Thailand to help the victims of Tsunami. There she realized that surfing isnt the most important thing in the world but love--love that drives other people to help one another, love that gives hope to those who despair, love that is stronger than fear. 


Changing perspective is like finding inspiration--they are both constant struggles in life. They are both vital to survive the waves that crash down on you. It's confusing at first but like in the movie, we do not know why terrible things happen, but we should believe that "something really good will come out of it."


The SOUL SURFER

After watching Soul Surfer, I am now officially one of the zillion Bethany-Hamilton fans.

The things I admire about the Hamilton girl:

Fortitude

• When her arm was ripped off, she didn't even scream, she even paddled herself to the nearest land she can reach. 
• She didn't blame anyone for what happened.
• She faced life like the way it was before the accident, however in a more positive way. 
• She conquered her fear, and surfed again.

Pureness/Kindness

• The way she thinks doesn't involve so much about self-interest but of all's interest. 

Uniqueness

• On interviews, her answer is not the usual showbiz-type that a 13 year-old girl would say. It is different, a right kind of different.

Host: Do you think after losing your arm, you would surf again?
Bethany: Think? I know I will surf again.

Humility

• She acknowledges God's plan for her, which is to move people's lives.

The world needs more Bethany Hamilton. I guess, it's time for me to be one and find the word that would complete this blog post's title. :) Leggo inspire the world!

P.S.

The movie's just perfect for MAMA MARY'S BIRTHDAY. Happy Birthday, Blessed Mother!
