Commonwealth games

The Commonwealth games about to start in India has caused much debate. Who is right and who is wrong. Are the Indians wrong for taking so long to get the place sorted for the opening or is it where we are looking from that is causing all the drama?
This all depends on the point of view. In a game of Tennis if you serve the ball and it is called out. To you it is a bad shot. To the other player it is good and to the umpire it is neither good and or bed, its simply out.
What we hinge our beliefs on are caused by our reference points. To a homeless person the opportunity to stay in the athletes village would be great yet to some players they are complaining about they have. It all depends what we compare it against. Just as the two tennis players are experiencing the same thing, only one of them is seeing the good side. So too in life things are related to our reference points. Unless we try to expand our reference point/s we too will stay in the same zone.
It is our commitment to growth and to continually be expanding what we think about that increases our experiences. If we stay where we are then in 12 months time we have gone backwards as people and the universe has moved on.
So the Commonwealth games. Are they a disaster or a hugely exciting event? For me and my reference points they are an exciting event that is about to unfold. I believe the Indians have done a great job in getting the village to a place where it will be a spectacular event to watch. No ones prejudices will hinger me watching and enjoying.
So I challenge you when you are starting to complain and or moan. What is the motive, what is causing that sense of injustice inside you.
This is one day in a short life. Make the day great by experiencing exciting and new things.
Fraze!!
