Sometimes you just need to put your life into perspective. I will admit that I am young, and sometimes I do not value my life as much as I should. I am actually one of the fortunate ones in life who has a roof ontop of my head and a steady income. The opportunity for me to grow is immense. But for some reason, I've always felt a little out of touch with myself and with my life. I believe part of the reason why is because I have not been grateful for the life that has been given to me.
Take a few seconds, look at all the troubled people around the world. The homeless, the unfortunate, the sick, the lonely etc... and you will find that your life is not so bad. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am living in a 1st world country. But for some reason I crave more, I want things to go exactly the way I want them too. If that doesn't happen I throw myself into a fit. Why do I do this? I have everything anyone could ever ask for. Freedom, liberty, security. These are all things you cannot find in many parts of the world.
I am not saying it is wrong to want more; I am saying that if you don`t always get what you want, it`s not the end of the world. I believe that if I wake up everymorning and remind myself how lucky I am, my days will seem a lot brighter.
So my challenge this week when I get up in the morning is to remind myself of how fortunate I am to be where I am. It has defenilty helped me be more foruces in the past few days. Eventually, it will become a habit and I won`t even think about it as something I need to focus on. This way I will become always concsious and mindful of how lucky I am to be in the City, Country and World that I live in today.
