I read a beautiful #ShortStory and found it #TooGoodNotToShare

#WhoPackedYourParachute

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely.

He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him & said "You're Captain Vishal! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Vishal

“I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.

Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today. Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man.

He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"

So friends, please think as to who is packing your parachute?

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We all need many kinds of parachutes when our plane is shot down – we need the #PhysicalParachute, the #MentalParachute, the #EmotionalParachute, the #SpiritualParachute & the #FinancialParachute.

We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily #challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, thank you or congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them,give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason

As you go through this week, balance of this month & year, recognize the people who pack your parachute

I just want to say #ThankYouToAll those Who Packed my #Parachute in the #Year2018 one way or the other - through your words, deeds, wishes and prayers.
