“I think we’re often sent small opportunities to test our readiness. If we block those small opportunities, we’re broadcasting that we aren’t ready to receive the bigger ones yet.”

In other words, some blessings come in disguise, some blessings are smaller than we expect, but when we fail to accept (or even recognize) those as blessings and feel grateful for them, we aren’t really ready for the bigger blessings - therefore, that becomes a curse.

Someone asked above “why would anyone reject a blessing, if s/he can see it as one?” - that’s the problem exactly, some people don’t really recognize the value in smaller blessings and reject them. Besides, the original quote doesn’t say “A blessing that is recognized as such and rejected becomes a curse.; it only says “A blessing rejected becomes a curse.” ;-)

why would anyone reject a blessing, if s/he can see it as one !

secondly is it really a blessing if under any situation it can become a curse. have u got this one wrong paulo !

if one can see, life itself, despite all it’s poblems, some heart wrenching ones too, life itself is a blessing, an oppertunity to know that which is beyond life & death. life is an oppertunity to make ‘god, christ, allah, krishna, whoever….,’ our ‘two drops of oil’ as we go about enjoying ( not necessarily laughing all the time, but maybe crying too sometimes, but enjoying nonethless ) ‘his’ world..

AND UNTIL WE LEARN MORE ABOUT IT WE HAVE AN IMPRESSION THAT IT IS

A CURSE
