Ol this how I understand the video.

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test.

They waited anxiously as she placed the papers upside down in front of them.

Once she handed them all out she asked them to turn the papers and begin

To everyone’s surprise there were no questions

Just a black dot in the center of the page

To everyone’s confusion she said

I want you to write what you see there

The worried students did what they were told

At the end she collected the papers and read them aloud

All of them, with no exceptions described the black dot trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet of paper

After all had been read the classroom became silent and she began to explain

I am not going to grade you, I just wanted to give you something to think about

No one wrote about the white part of the paper

Everyone focused on the black dot

And the same happens in our lives

We have a white paper, many wonderful things we have happen around us that we take for granted

We focus our attention and energy on small dot like failures and disappointments

The health issues, the money. Relationship complications, problems with family members, disappointments with friends and so on

Life is a special gift and we always have reasons to celebrate

It is changing and renewing every day

You need to realise the dark spots are very small and only few, yet we allow these to pollute our minds

Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life

Enjoy each one of your blessings and each moment that life gives to you

Well said and great advice. I find the best remedy for pain is to get your mind on other things. Also , internal dialogue is what gets you. Think 🤔 what kind of messages you give yourself on a daily basis. Rather than look in the mirror to find all the things you see as faults. No one has any difficulty with that exercise but change it to find the things you love about yourself or what you see and suddenly we are at a loss.

To thin to tall, to skinny to dark or eye colour or hair Ext

I also use smoking as the perfect example. I kept telling myself I would do it in summer so I could get out to walk or I do not want to gain weight or it keeps me calm.... now I say , it smells, it is costly, it is messy ...

I quit after 45 years of being a smoker by deciding I needed to stop 🛑

I have not gained weight and have been perfectly calm lol not even a little grumpy 😡
