Ugly Duckling Counselling Service

One of my clients sent me this lovely way of explaining good and bad days using the conversation from two beloved children's characters. She shared it from a from a friend of hers, and it goes like this:
"Piglet" Said Pooh "Yes Pooh" Said Piglet "Do you ever have days when everything feels like.....Not Very Ok at all?? And sometimes you don't even know why, you just know that you do Not feel Very Ok"... Piglet nodded his head sagely "Oh Yes" Said Piglet "I definitely have those days"
"Really?" said Pooh in surprise. "I would never have thought that. You always seem so happy and like you have got everything in life all sorted out."
"Ah," said Piglet. "Well here's the thing. There are two things that you need to know, Pooh. The first thing is that even those pigs, bears, and people, who seen have got everything in life all sorted out... they probably haven't. Actually, everyone has days when they feel Not Very Okay At All. Some people are just better at hiding it than others."
"And the second thing that you need to know," continued Piglet, "is that it's okay to feel Not Very Okay At All, is come and find me, and tell me. Don't ever feel like you have to hide the fact you're feeling Not Very Okay At All. Always come and tell me. Because I will always be there x."

My dear sister Sangita Nanwani sent me this morning this message in what's Up. I like so much that I decided to share it on this page. The poem is written in Spanish by Mario Andrade, but thanks to the wonderful internet I found the translation, so here it is: The Valuable Time of Maturity - Poem by Mário de Andrade
" I counted my years and discovered that I have less time to live going forward than I have lived until now.
... I have more past than future. I feel like the boy who received a bowl of candies. The first ones, he ate ungracious, but when he realized there were only a few left, he began to taste them deeply.
I do not have time to deal with mediocrity. I do not want to be in meetings where parade inflamed egos.
I am bothered by the envious, who seek to discredit😍🤩🤗 the most able, to usurp their places, coveting their seats, talent, achievements and luck.
I do not have time for endless conversations, useless to discuss about the lives of others who are not part of mine.
I do not have time to manage sensitivities of people who despite their chronological age, are immature.
I cannot stand the result that generates from those struggling for power.
People do not discuss content, only the labels. My time has become scarce to discuss labels, I want the essence, my soul is in a hurry… Not many candies in the bowl…
I want to live close to human people, very human, who laugh of their own stumbles, and away from those turned smug and overconfident with their triumphs, away from those filled with self-importance, Who does not run away from their responsibilities .. Who defends human dignity. And who only want to walk on the side of truth and honesty. The essential is what makes life worthwhile.
I want to surround myself with people, who knows how to touch the hearts of people …. People to whom the hard knocks of life, taught them to grow with softness in their soul.
Yes …. I am in a hurry … to live with intensity, that only maturity can bring. I intend not to waste any part of the goodies I have left … I'm sure they will be more exquisite, that most of which so far I've eaten.
My goal is to arrive to the end satisfied and in peace with my loved ones and my conscience. I hope that your goal is the same, because either way you will get there too .. "
