There’s some videos that are circulating around the internet which really leave an impression with us. This is one of them and we wanted to share it with you. The clip above features a visually impaired street seller who’s given much more money for his services, than he would normally receive. Although it’s clear that the man is living anything but an easy life, and of course as a street seller, the money would be of convenience, he still refuses to take it. Nevertheless, he’s left with the extra money to keep, as the man gifting it walks away. The visually impaired street seller then spots the man again and insists that he returns the money, stating, “What I make with my efforts is enough for me.” Although it appears that the man has very little, he displays such gratitude for what he does have. The line that really took us back though, is the following one: “Give this money to someone more needy than me.” Not only is the man kind with his mannerisms, by addressing his customers as “sir,” not only is he honest and full of gratitude, but he is selfless. In his position, he understands that there are still people who are in worse places than him, and he would rather the money was given to them. This video definitely gives us faith in humanity and we could all learn from this street seller’s attitude towards life.
This video promotes an important message, which is that it’s not money that makes you rich, it’s your attitude. The attitude possessed by the visually impaired street seller in the video makes him rich; we can all be rich. We always want more and more, and often when we don’t get it, we react in a negative way. Although everything imaginable is attainable, it’s important to be thankful for what you have already. You’re in a better position than so many people in the world right now. While some people just need some food and water, we tend to complain because we’ve missed, or are missing out on life’s luxuries. For example, you might go into a store to buy a £300 watch that you’ve wanted for ages, to find that it’s been sold out. Although this may be disappointing, you should be thankful that you had enough money in the first place to buy the watch. Imagine how much that money could help someone on the streets, especially in a country that has a lesser currency than yours. We always seem to look up at what we don’t have, that we often forget to look down and remember what we do have. Also you should remember that gratitude puts you in a state of vibration that makes it easier for goodness to flow to you. It’s an attitude inherited by the wealthy.

There’s a second video to this where the visually impaired street seller is finally handed the money to keep – although again, he refuses to accept it. You can see the video HERE.
