Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Back to Having A Sense of Purpose


--by joyful, posted Nov 21, 2010

It is a rainy Sunday morning and I was just playing solitaire on my computer when an e-mail popped up from this wonderful site with the weekly newsletter that I subscribe for! 

I had been sitting here feeling very low as I have had four months of health problems and am now facing six months off work on disability. Talk about feeling sorry for myself!

Then I started reading your stories! It has been along time since I was on this site but now I am back and full of a sense of purpose!

A huge thank you to you all for reminding me that life is what we make it, not just for ourselves but for others too!

I understand your hopelessness, as i have gone thru similar disability problem for 6 months. For 5 months, i was not too bad, hopeful most of time, though there were moments of despair. At end of 5 months, doctor told me he could not make me any better and that was so disheartening. I was hopeless and i cried and prayed. Then God listened, I got to know about 'pranic healing' which helped me live a normal life.
This website is truly amazing, i come here evertime i feel low and get so much positive energy.
take care.
