Though there is nothing wrong with wanting more. Consider this today. Instead of wanting what you don’t have, try enjoying what you already do have. Think about the positives in yourself in your life. Think about the good people around you without focusing on what’s not there or what you, or they don’t possess. There you may find peace and joy.
Next, Do you have the shelter a roof over your head? Many people in this world don’t. Do you have clothes to protect you from the elements? Do you have books to read, a TV,computer, music or movies? Do you have a car or even ample public transportation? A bed to sleep in? Everything counts, little or big. Make your list & realize just how blessed you are. I just finished my list and am smiling at God.
Finally, While thinking of what’s good in your life, and what you already have, write your positive attributes on a piece of paper or in a journal. Ask yourself,& note the goods,”what about me is really good, and fine?” It may be that you are nice looking, have a great smile, caring, responsible, energetic, compassionate, and loving. Write anything that comes to mind. Thank your creator for what you have & what you are.
Have a happy today I hope you can experience moments of satisfaction with who you are, just as you are.
