Angel's whisperings
My child came to me and said "I did not win the race today. I am not good in sports".
I said, "My dear child, you need to practice every day to win the race. The child who won the race practices everyday."
Next morning when my child got up she said
"I do not want to win race. I am going to support Meera to win the race next time also."
I retorted, "WHAT! What about you? What about your future?........"
Before I got up next day morning an angel came to me and whispered something in my ears.
I smiled and got up. I straight went to my child and said "Who won the race yesterday in the school? How can you support that child to win the race next time also?"
My child was not amused. She asked, "Did the angel come and whisper to you also?
When I told this to my husband he had many question in his mind:
"BUT…Why…My child….Race…..Win….. "
When I told this to my friend she too had the same worry in her eyes:
"BUT…Why…Your child….Race…..Win….."
When I told this to myself again – I saw a different world in front of me:
A world which "support the competence." A world where ALL are focused and goal oriented. A world where all are supporting each other to become best - yet all are successful. A world where all are genie and all are nurturing each other.
"Can you guess what the Angel whispered in my ears"

My way of looking at it?
The angel said that if you put the thought of winning
aside, of being first, then you'll always be a winner.
Reminds me of the time when i ran a race where winning
seemed to be the most important thing of all - it was
a relay and the girl behind me fell down, which meant
our team gains a lead in the race,
did i or the others stop to turn around and help?
No.. because all that mattered was the relay team i
was in should win. People rejoiced when we did win,
but did i feel good about it?
NO. even today, after six plus years, no words, no
excuses or explanations help.

This really made me think. well, i think the angel whispered " we are all parts of a tree - some of us are roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. find out what you like to be and enjoy growing and helping grow" - mini

Well, to make a long story short, I think what the angel said, was probably on the lines of:"Its good to be first in anything that you do, but its more important to be good in everything that you do."

The Angel said, My dear child, I am proud that you chose to participate in the race and you caused that event by being part of it. Keep doing that. Be a participant with joy. You are a winner when you use your power of choice to be part of a worthy cause, whether you win or loose.
I think the angel said;when your child can support the other child to win the race she is already a winner.

I think the angel whispered only thing that matters is what you feel about the person and also that you are already a winner having such wonderful and positive thoughts.
